The roots of social media are far more extensive than you might imagine. But, in the 2000s social media came into the scene and it seems like a new trend, sites like Facebook are the natural outcome of many eras of social media development. Nobody anticipated it to grow into what it is today. Many years from now social media is no longer a place where people used to do chat with different people. The concept of social media has drastically changed. Now, it has become the battleground for business industries that target their right customers and market place through social media. But hold on, at this point an interesting question is what does the future hold for social media?

The answer is VR (virtual reality). Let’s get clarity of this term and find out what it offers that makes the user so exciting.


In today’s world virtual reality performing major roles in different industries and people's life which influences all the industries and life of the people who interact with the people through social media. Not only that, over many decades the traditional marketing was very common and users used to log in their social accounts and start post something online for their friends and engage with. This is the old method of doing marketing. Now imagine if this process becomes much more immersive. That’s how VR social network gives freedom to the user to interact with different people in many ways.


When it’s come to virtual reality content many of us think about the video game, in this case, gamers can create their avatars, put on a headset and can walk around in the game environment that can also be customized by the users themselves. This is just an example of a VR solution that how people connect with different people throughout the world and offering their experiences that have not been possible before this.

Through Virtual Reality, social media has already influenced different platforms like Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If we take the example of Facebook. Earlier Facebook launched its VR application that is called 360 which attempts to intertwine the realistic and virtual world of Facebook with a dedicated app. Let’s imagine that you are sitting on your couch and relaxing and your phone is off and to the side. You’re wearing an Oculus headset, completely immersed in the experience. You’re not in a wild jungle safari ride. But actually, you’re scrolling through your Facebook feeds and browsing content from friends you follow.

Virtual reality adds a new dimension to social media marketing. It also affects social media in ways barely imaginable. But don’t you worry. VR and social media are just around the corner.


The majority of people are accessing social media via smartphones but in future VR and social media are just around the corner and this thing will be done via VR helmet. The usage of the smartphone will be declined in the future and the majority of the people will shift on VR.

People will connect both professionally and personally through social virtual media. So you will no longer need to send someone business emails, but rather than these people will send VR powered message to them that can convey everything that you want to say in a way that regular messaging is not capable of. Moreover, interactions among people will be able to get to know each other on a much more personal level and have a more immersive experience overall.

In today’s era, VR is becoming so popular, an expectation to start seeing more platforms offering VR products. The whole experience is about to become much more personal and engaging, and it is giving users a lot more freedom to decide how they would like to represent themselves to others online. Furthermore, the original goal of social media was too engaged people around the world, and the new virtual social life will get this goal accomplished.
