Authorship

Co-author, “The Handbook of Research on the Global Impacts of Immersive Media” (2019). In my chapter, “Immersive Media and Branding: How being a brand will change and expand in the age of true immersion,” I explore the impact of immersive technologies—augmented reality and virtual reality—on consumer branding and business. Highlighting various use cases, I discuss the evolution of experiential marketing as spatial computing becomes mainstream, offering insights on how brands can leverage this technology.

I also analyze the rise of virtual influencers and their implications for social media marketing, emphasizing how artificial intelligence will enable personalized interactions through virtual avatars. Additionally, I outline risks, rules, and recommendations for brands eager to harness these emerging technologies effectively.
