Augmented reality has started appearing in journalism to present a more compelling story.

The New York Times is experimenting with immersive experiences as part of their general news coverage. It all started with the Winter Olympics in 2018, and when the team was pretty comfortable with the production process, they switched to breaking news, and they finished off the year with certain data visualization.

The New York Times uses augmented reality not only to convey information in a very precise way but also cover it with the level of sensitivity without making it feel like a game. Not every story needs to be immersive, and the team has come up with the formats they were comfortable working with, where readers need to imagine the scene in more details to understand the story better.

Augmented reality can help journalism:

🔸A journalistic value in displaying a subject in its entirety
🔸Explaining scale/height/speed/distance better
🔸Visceral experience / emotional connect
🔸A more intuitive interaction
🔸Make graphics large
