The advent of the era of 5G networks and AR(Augmented Reality)technology has spurred new media techniques such as network selfies to bring new social and cultural phenomena.By combining the objective real world with the cyber space,AR technology is integrated into the online selfie.Therefore,the self-image of contemporary young people in reality has been fully developed in the Internet,where their ideal self-images have been achieved.Nowadays,with the integration and development of AR technology and 5G technology,traditional selfies have gradually developed towards AR selfies,which have become a way of life for contemporary people.However,the real-life interpersonal relationship social network previously established by people using online selfies no longer exists in the development of AR selfies.Although AR selfies are well developing in the country as a brand-new thing,little efforts have been made to investigate and analyze the combination of AR technology and selfie in previous works.Therefore,in this thesis,I attempt to investigate AR selfies in neutral social platforms such as Weibo on post-90 s youth groups living in Chinese cities as a research paradigm.Based on self-presentation and virtual reality simulation theory,this research integrates into social and online youth Cultural perspective and conducts content encoding analysis of AR selfies supplemented by in-depth interviews and questionnaires,for exploring the development of AR selfie characteristics,the relationship between AR selfies and the Internet as well as youth self and society in contemporary youth culture.Through research analysis,this article reveals that the characteristics of AR selfies have promoted the emergence of neutral youth online communities and formed unique immersive contemporary youth personalities.The fantasy,fragmentation and consumerism contained in their personalities have obvious self-directed self-acting dramatic features.The AR selfie not only continues the self-image construction of traditional online selfies but also creates the separation from the self-image in reality forming a "false self" that relies on the idealized self.This "false self" is rather immersive to compress the attention and behavior activities of contemporary youth in reality,thereby ignoring or avoiding the emotional expression in real life.With the development of related technologies such as the Internet and 5G network,young people's selfie behavior has evolved from the previous online selfies to the AR ones,and then from offline AR selfies to online AR selfies having social properties in cyberspace.This is an inevitable trend of technological development to promote social currents and alter people's behavior patterns.In the future,increasing things could be converted from real-life to cyberworld.The boundaries between real and virtual have been blended,and people need to be sober all the time.
