A home bathtub and a pair of virtual reality glasses, the perfect combination for a dream vacation during social distancing.
Giữa bối cảnh đại dịch toàn cầu đang có nhiều diễn biến phức tạp, những khoảnh khắc thư giãn, tĩnh tâm trước "núi" thông tin tiêu cực về dịch bệnh để thiền định và thực hành chánh niệm hầu như không còn trọn vẹn. Dù không thể ngâm mình trực tiếp trong dòng suối nước nóng thực sự, người dùng vẫn được trải nghiệm phần nào sự hấp dẫn của hình thức du lịch này ngay trong bồn tắm tại gia nhờ công nghệ thực tế ảo (VR). Đúng vậy, bây giờ bạn có thể ngâm mình trong Vùng đất mặt trời mọc mà không cần rời khỏi nhà.
A group of hot spring resort owners in the town of Arima posted virtual reality videos of their hot spring baths on YouTube. To date, there have been 4 videos posted on this channel, each video contains beautiful, peaceful natural scenes mixed with the sound of flowing water and cherry blossom petals blowing in the wind. All bring new and wonderful experiences that have never been seen before, especially in a situation where everyone is bored because of being quarantined at home.
All you need is a pair of 4K VR glasses and your familiar bathtub, mix hot water and choose your favorite scenery in each video, leave all your worries out of the bathroom, just you immerse yourself in the water and wonderful scenery.
The group of inn owners said that hot springs in Japan can somewhat increase the effectiveness of quarantine during epidemics. “By uploading VR videos online, we can help reduce infection as well as ease the discomfort of those affected by Covid-19, even if only in a small way.”
Arima town is a famous place for hot spring tourism. But according to The Verge, after Hyogo prefecture fell into a state of emergency this month, about 90% of hot spring inns in the town closed. Therefore, these virtual reality experiences not only help people relax but also give hostel owners a chance to show off their outstanding amenities.
