"利用VR技术捕捉生活精彩瞬间是大势所趋,特别是当360°全景拍摄已慢慢成为常态,消费者对此的需要更呈指数倍增长."YouVisit创始人阿比·曼德尔鲍姆告诉CNN财经栏目记者,"VR作为一种全方位的仿真媒介,无论是在企业营销层面,或是在个人或社会层面,都能彻底改变人类传统的叙事方式."
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个交互虚拟现实体验场景,从音乐节、剧场演出到体育盛事、企业活动,题材不一而足.尽管拍摄定制虚拟现实场景价格昂贵——YouVisit的制作套餐起步价高达一万美金——但这家公司开设了一个名为"体验构筑者"的平台,可供网友上传自己拍摄的360°影像和照片,免费制作个性化的虚拟现实场景.
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.
从精心构思到最终编辑,丹尼尔和伊拉娜的婚礼虚拟还原场景制作历时两到三个月.制作完成后,这对幸福的夫妇将成果展示给了未能参加他们婚礼的朋友和家人.他们希望有朝一日也能让自己的孩子们"参加"他们的婚礼.
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.
新婚夫妇并非只有通过VR才能获取独特的婚礼录像——有些新人租用了无人机航拍婚礼现?硪恍┰蛲低蛋袵oPro相机（GPRO,Tech30）藏在花束里,以便近距离拍摄新娘步入婚礼殿堂的全程.
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.
科技还能让新人省下一笔婚礼开销.比如,鲜花租赁应用（Bloomerent）就能让同在附近、同在一天举行婚礼的新人共用鲜花.想到以往婚礼中百分之十的预算都用在只摆设数小时的鲜花上,这款应用无疑大大节省了一笔开支.
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.
尽管用VR还原婚礼场景不是大多数新人的心愿首位,尤其是在预算有限的情形下,丹尼尔还是选择用这种独有的方式储存当日的记忆.他表示,将钱挥霍于此比挥霍于别处更有意义.
"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."
"对于我们来说,这种创新技术本身并不重要,重要的是我们找到了一种途径来记录我们在危地马拉那美妙梦幻的一天,只要我们愿意,随时都可以'故地重游'."
