美新人举行虚拟现实婚礼 随时随地重温最美时光
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.
丹尼尔与伊拉娜于今年初在危地马拉城喜结连理,这对新人想利用现代科技,创造一颗能带他们重温大喜之日的时间胶囊.
"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.
"当我们开始策划婚礼时,我们就清楚意识到我们想要捕捉那一天的所有细节,并且能够不断重温那一天的美好记忆,"不愿意透露姓氏的丹尼尔如是说道.
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.
实际上,这对新婚夫妇已经通过虚拟现实（VR）回顾了数次当日的情境.这对新人请来了总部位于佛罗里达州阿文图拉的新兴科技公司YouVisit,让他们捕捉婚礼现场的360°全息景图,并将其转化为可让人身临其境的虚拟图景.
"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."
"我的妻子已经回顾录像多次了,每次重温都忍不住感动落泪."丹尼尔说道,"无论我们再怎么重复看,总会发现一些新鲜事物.这些细节都是我们当日不曾留意到的,因为彼时我们正沉醉在自身的巨大幸福中,而虚拟现实给我们机会重温当日,每一次踏入情境都有全新的体验."
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.
这家专业VR技术服务公司派出一组工作人员参加婚礼,并在现场的几个特殊地点放置摄像头.YouVisit随后对全息图景进行汇编并在线上发布成果,只要有电脑、手机或VR头盔,任何人都能与这对新人分享他们当日的欢笑与泪水.
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.
科技一直在二人的亲密关系中扮演举足轻重的角色.大约两年前,丹尼尔在Tinder（手机交友应用）上关注了伊拉娜——然而她并没有"右键通过好友申请"——后来他想起两人曾共同出席过一位朋友的婚礼,于是便找到了她.丹尼尔最终成功要到了她的电话,并与之约会.
"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."
