From short-form luxury series to full-body hologram displays, the March 2022 social media trends cover a range of new platform features and brand campaigns.
One notable standout from the March 2022 social media trends comes from 'PORTL,' a futuristic technology innovation company. The brand recently debuted the 'PORTL Epic,' a real-time holographic communications device. The human-sized display box receives holographic recordings and creates a full, life-size 3D model of the sender.
Another standout example is the voice-activated face filters from the Ministry of Sound. In honor of its 30th birthday, the brand has created a voice-activated face filter for Snapchat that takes people back in time virtually. Users are able to speak a decade from the club's history to take them back to that time. You can see flip phones from the 1990s, iPods from the 2000s, and virtual reality headsets from 2010.
