Visitors at the Korea Sale Festa in Seoul were able to strap on some VR headgear on Thursday and virtual shop til they virtual dropped. Major retailers such as LG, E-Mart and Hyundai took part, allowing consumers to snap up some discount goods in a virtual shopping mall. The project, run by Skonec Entertainment, aims to spread the idea of VR shopping. Creators even say that shops tailored for individual consumers based on shopping data are a distinct possibility in the future.
It's been a dream of humans to fly through the sky at least since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although we now have jetpacks and wingsuits, there wasn't a way for us to experience the sensation of flying between skyscrapers until now. This is Birdly, a virtual reality flying simulator that, unlike Red Bull, actually gives you wings. People were seen flapping virtual wings on Birdly at the 2017 SXSW festival on Wednesday. Birdly, the full-body virtual reality flying simulator, combines VR, music, and a wind generator to create the sensation of flying. Users flat their arms on the machine to flap wings in the simulation and generate lift. The idea for Birdly was conceived for a research project at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2013 and it was brought out onto the market in December 2015. How would you like to be free as a bird?
Sci-fi fans, rejoice! Rides at a new theme park being built in China's Guiyang city called the East Science Valley will combine many of the hallmarks of popular science fiction, like futuristic cities, robots, space travel, and aliens, with the latest in virtual reality, augmented reality, holograph projection, and other modern visual tech. Officials announced that the park is set to be completed December, but Ruptly got a sneak peek inside.
She can recognize your face, understand your voice, and follow commands to manage smart home equipment, but that's not the main selling point of Azuma Hikari. This holographic artificial intelligence being is designed to be so smart and sweet that a lonely person could fall in love with her. Japanese company Gatebox claim that they have developed the world's first virtual wife. The Gatebox will launch in December 2017 and cost around $3,000.
Japanese company Xenoma showed off its first mass produced e-skin on Wednesday, a machine washable t-shirt with electric sensors that could revolutionise health technology for the home. The e-skin is equipped with a unified monitoring sensor system that can keep checking your breathing rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, while also closely monitoring your movement, even helping play virtual reality games.
