2020-03-31来源:和谐英语

It is a trip to the spa unlike anything Remy Miraz has experienced.
It was really like I was on vacation.
Miraz picks a location she wants to experience.
Then she gets geared up with a virtual reality headset.
She has the massage chair adjusted to her size and intensity preference,and
sinks in for a virtual vacation,
and an immersive multi-sensory experience begins.
A fan, infrared heat, and aromatherapy with scents in the air are all triggered, when the user enters the virtual world in their headset.
Your mind processes the sense, it processes the warmth,
it processes for, you know, the tropical treat, the wind from the fans,
and so you really believe you’re in these environments.
The heat lamp gives users the feeling of the sun’s warmth on their face, or in front of a cozy fireplace.
In addition to this cabin on a cold winter’s day,
other experiences include a calm pool in Morocco, and even an outer space experience.
Miraz chose a trip to the forest waterfalls.
I could smell the aroma of what it would feel like in a forest.
It was, you know, woodsy sense.
I could feel cool air blowing on me.
These virtual locations still do not look quite like video of a real place,
and for some users, the headset does make it tough to get a good neck massage.
But for Miraz, she got the ultimate proof of relaxation.
There are three different points where I almost fell asleep.
Currently the 35-dollar mini vacation is only available in Los Angeles.
The goal is to license this virtual experience to other cities,
so hotels, spas, and offices can give people a quick escape from the stresses of the real world.
