VR gives the people who use it an interactive three-dimensional experience.They can see realistic images and hear sounds that are almost like those one experiences in real life.
VR给人们一种交互式三维立体体验。人们可以看到真实的影响，听到声音，就像在现实生活中体验的一样。

Khora Virtual Reality opened earlier this year in Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen.It may be the first virtual reality store in the world.It is a place where people can learn about virtual reality and create and play it.
科尔拉（Khora）虚拟现实今年初在丹麦首都哥本哈根成立。也许是世界上第一家虚拟现实店面。在那里，人们可以了解虚拟现实，创造虚拟现实，以及利用VR技术打游戏。

The Greek philosopher Plato used the word “Khora” to describe a place between reality and fantasy.
希腊哲学家柏拉图用Khora一词，描述介于现实和幻想之间的地方。

In the company’s VR game “Cityscape Repairman,” players must operate a huge urban infrastructure.Each person must take care of the city’s roads and public services to continue playing.
该公司的VR游戏，“城市修理工”中，玩家必须运营大型的城市基础设施。每位玩家必须照料好城市的道路和基础设施，才能继续游戏。

Simon Lajboschitz is the CEO of Khora.He says the company’s developers do more than create games.
西蒙·拉博斯齐（Simon Lajboschitz）是科尔拉公司的首席执行官。他说公司的开发人员做的不仅仅是制作游戏。

“We work with artists in New York. We work to psychology.We work with the main city hospital here.We work with dementia.We work with businesses (to) tell (a) new way of telling stories…”
“我们和纽约的艺术家一同工作。我们还会去了解心理学。和主要城市医院合作。了解痴呆症。我们还会和企业合作，以新的方式讲述故事。”

Morten Haulik is the company’s event manager.
莫滕·霍利克是公司的活动经理。

“It’s super important to give people the experience of actually walking around in the world, interacting with stuff.It could be the Great Wall of China or the space station or stuff like that, but if you really need to learn something about it, you actually need to see it in real life, and touch it and interact with it.”
“重要的是给予人们在真实世界中行走，和外界互动的感受。环境可能是中国的长城，可能是空间站，或者类似这些，但你需要学习和这些事物相关的东西，你需要在现实生活中看到它，触摸它，和它互动。”

Lajboschitz says that is what students at the University of Copenhagen experience.
拉博斯齐说也这是学生们在哥本哈根大学体验到的。

“My favorite thing is showing people virtual reality and then, when they take off the goggles.It’s like, ‘Whoa, I forgot that I was in this space with white walls and with people around me.’When they realize that they actually forgot that’s my favorite part.”
“我最喜欢的事是向人们展示虚拟现实，然后，当他们摘掉护目镜。就会这样说，‘哇，我都忘了我周围是白墙，身边有很多人。‘当他们意识到他们忘了身处现实中的何处时，是我最得意的时候。”

Clara Lykkegaard is a student at the university.
克拉拉·里克嘉德是哥本哈根大学的学生。

“I have read about virtual reality before, and I’ve seen others trying it, but I have never tried it myself.And it is a brand new world.It’s so weird because you almost forget where you are.”
“之前我读过关于虚拟现实的文章，我也看到其他人尝试过，但我自己从未试过。那是一个全新的世界。很奇怪，因为你会忘了你实际上身处何地。”

Khora’s leaders believe helping students get interested in this technology might persuade some of them to work in the industry, and gain a share of what is expected to be a more than 3 billion-dollar market by 2020.
科尔拉的主管们认为培养学生对该技术的兴趣，会说服一部分人之后从事该行业，增加市场份额，预计2020年会占领30亿美元的市场份额。
