Sensory Fusion

Simultaneous stimulation of senses changes the way consumers are entertained

Implications - Though listening to music and music only was once enough, Generation Y's shortened attention span demands a more holistically stimulating experience. Thus, consumers and artists alike are finding ways to combine sensory experiences to make for a new-aged, comprehensive method of entertainment. This abstract distraction suggests that today's youth is growing restless with the digital realm, seeking more tangible methods of entertainment.
Trend Themes
1. Multisensory Entertainment - Generation Y's demand for a more holistically stimulating experience brought about by combining sensory experiences to make for a new-aged comprehensive method of entertainment.
2. Interactive Light Shows - Technological advancements that allow for interactive light shows that allow the public to touch, step, and stomp on show how much technology is changing art.
3. Personalized Sound Byte Merchandise - Digitally visualized songs and sounds in merchandise, such as Waveform Necklaces, targets today's musically-inclined consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment Industry - The introduction of multisensory entertainment creates an opportunity for the entertainment industry to develop a more comprehensive method of entertaining its audience.
2. Spa & Wellness Industry - Incorporating soothing music and customized illumination into bathroom fixtures allow the spa and wellness industry to bring a touch of the spa experience to people's homes.
3. Design & Art Industry - The development of new technology, such as interactive light shows, creates an opportunity for artists and designers to create new and innovative forms of art.
