美新人舉行虛擬現實婚禮 隨時隨地重溫最美時光
Here comes the ... virtual reality wedding. Couple preserves memories in VR
When Daniel and Ilana tied the knot in Guatemala City earlier this year, the couple wanted to create a modern-day time capsule that would allow them to relive the day.
丹尼爾與伊拉娜于今年初在危地馬拉城喜結連理,這對新人想利用現代科技,創造一顆能帶他們重溫大喜之日的時間膠囊.
"As we started to plan the wedding, it became clear we needed something that could truly capture everything about the day, in a way we could enjoy many times over," said Daniel, who declined to share the couple's last name.
"當我們開始策劃婚禮時,我們就清楚意識到我們想要捕捉那一天的所有細節,并且能夠不斷重溫那一天的美好記憶,"不愿意透露姓氏的丹尼爾如是說道.
In fact, the newlyweds have re-experienced their wedding several times by watching it back in virtual reality. The company hired Aventura, Florida-based startup YouVisit to capture 360-degree footage and turn it into something that virtually transports them back to that day.
實際上,這對新婚夫婦已經通過虛擬現實（VR）回顧了數次當日的情境.這對新人請來了總部位于佛羅里達州阿文圖拉的新興科技公司YouVisit,讓他們捕捉婚禮現場的360°全息景圖,并將其轉化為可讓人身臨其境的虛擬圖景.
"My wife, who has watched the video many times already, cries every time," Daniel said. "No matter how much we see it, there's always something we hadn't noticed before. These are things that would have gone unnoticed because we were so wrapped up in the moment, but it feels like a whole new day every time we step into the virtual environment."
"我的妻子已經回顧錄像多次了,每次重溫都忍不住感動落淚."丹尼爾說道,"無論我們再怎么重復看,總會發現一些新鮮事物.這些細節都是我們當日不曾留意到的,因為彼時我們正沉醉在自身的巨大幸福中,而虛擬現實給我們機會重溫當日,每一次踏入情境都有全新的體驗."
A small team from the professional VR filming service attended the wedding and set up cameras at specific spots throughout the grounds. YouVisit then compiled the footage and released it online, so the couple could share it with anyone with access to a desktop computer, mobile phone or VR headset.
這家專業VR技術服務公司派出一組工作人員參加婚禮,并在現場的幾個特殊地點放置攝像頭.YouVisit隨后對全息圖景進行匯編并在線上發布成果,只要有電腦、手機或VR頭盔,任何人都能與這對新人分享他們當日的歡笑與淚水.
Technology has always played a key role in their relationship. When Daniel spotted Ilana on Tinder nearly two years ago -- and she didn't return his "swipe right" -- he was able to track her down after remembering they once met at a friend's wedding. He ultimately got her phone number and asked her out.
科技一直在二人的親密關系中扮演舉足輕重的角色.大約兩年前,丹尼爾在Tinder（手機交友應用）上關注了伊拉娜——然而她并沒有"右鍵通過好友申請"——后來他想起兩人曾共同出席過一位朋友的婚禮,于是便找到了她.丹尼爾最終成功要到了她的電話,并與之約會.
"The ability to capture personal moments in VR is a trend that has been growing exponentially, particularly as 360 cameras are becoming mainstream," YouVisit cofounder Abi Mandelbaum told CNNMoney. "As a fully immersive medium, VR has the ability to completely shift how we tell stories, both on a corporate level through business marketing but also a personal and social level."
