This 15 minutes VR experience is worth the ticket price. There are only 6 participants allowed in the area in a session to give us enough space to move around. I carry a backpack processor with a cable connected to the Microsoft Hololens headgear and ear phones attached to the side of my ears.
Looking through the Hololens, I saw a grid room in front of me. I heard the facilitator explaining the safety instruction " If a grid wall appears in front , it is the boundary , do not cross it. You can see other participants as red particles. Now please take a step forward." We did and entered the VR environment.
In the beginning there was only darkness , a woman's voice emerge to instruct us on a breathing exercise , and when I exhale , I am surprised to create many blue round particles of air in front of me. I waved the air particles with my VR hands shaped in red particles. I see at a other participants red particles hands without bodies and I try to distant myself away from them.
The more air I blew the more blue particles I create that gave a body to my breadth. I waved my hand to disperse the floating particles. The surreal imagery of alien trees , the sound and music of the forest , and its dark environment gave me the sense of the unknown and immerse me thoroughly as I moved slowly like an astronaut in the alien world.
