"利用VR技術捕捉生活精彩瞬間是大勢所趨,特別是當360°全景拍攝已慢慢成為常態,消費者對此的需要更呈指數倍增長."YouVisit創始人阿比·曼德爾鮑姆告訴CNN財經欄目記者,"VR作為一種全方位的仿真媒介,無論是在企業營銷層面,或是在個人或社會層面,都能徹底改變人類傳統的敘事方式."
YouVisit has produced more than 1,000 interactive VR experiences, from music festivals and theater performances to athletic and corporate events. While filming a custom VR experience is costly -- a YouVisit package starts at $10,000 -- the company offers free access to its platform called Experience Builder, which allows users to create their own VR experiences by uploading 360-degree videos and photos.
截至目前,YouVisit已生成逾1000個交互虛擬現實體驗場景,從音樂節、劇場演出到體育盛事、企業活動,題材不一而足.盡管拍攝定制虛擬現實場景價格昂貴——YouVisit的制作套餐起步價高達一萬美金——但這家公司開設了一個名為"體驗構筑者"的平臺,可供網友上傳自己拍攝的360°影像和照片,免費制作個性化的虛擬現實場景.
The overall process for developing Daniel and Ilana's wedding VR experience, from conceptualizing to final editing, took about 2 to 3 months. The couple has since shown it to friends and family members who weren't able to make it to the destination wedding. The pair also hopes to show it to their children one day.
從精心構思到最終編輯,丹尼爾和伊拉娜的婚禮虛擬還原場景制作歷時兩到三個月.制作完成后,這對幸福的夫婦將成果展示給了未能參加他們婚禮的朋友和家人.他們希望有朝一日也能讓自己的孩子們"參加"他們的婚禮.
VR isn't the only creative use of technology that couples are using to get unique wedding footage -- some have even hired drones to take aerial footage of the grounds or snuck a GoPro(GPRO, Tech30) into a bouquet for an intimate angle of a bride's walk down the aisle.
新婚夫婦并非只有通過VR才能獲取獨特的婚禮錄像——有些新人租用了無人機航拍婚禮現?硪恍┰蟯低蛋袵oPro相機（GPRO,Tech30）藏在花束里,以便近距離拍攝新娘步入婚禮殿堂的全程.
Technology is helping couples cut down on overall wedding costs, too. For example, Bloomerentallows couples to share floral arrangements with others getting married nearby, which cuts down on cost, considering about 10% of the average wedding budget is spent on flowers used only for a few hours.
科技還能讓新人省下一筆婚禮開銷.比如,鮮花租賃應用（Bloomerent）就能讓同在附近、同在一天舉行婚禮的新人共用鮮花.想到以往婚禮中百分之十的預算都用在只擺設數小時的鮮花上,這款應用無疑大大節省了一筆開支.
While capturing a wedding in virtual reality may not be at the top of a couple's priority list, especially when it comes to limited budgets, Daniel said remembering the day was more important than splurging on other areas.
盡管用VR還原婚禮場景不是大多數新人的心愿首位,尤其是在預算有限的情形下,丹尼爾還是選擇用這種獨有的方式儲存當日的記憶.他表示,將錢揮霍于此比揮霍于別處更有意義.
"The takeaway for us was not so much to be leveraging innovative technology, but to be able to capture this magical day in Guatemala and to go back and visit whenever we want."
"對于我們來說,這種創新技術本身并不重要,重要的是我們找到了一種途徑來記錄我們在危地馬拉那美妙夢幻的一天,只要我們愿意,隨時都可以'故地重游'."
