WEBVTT - Alien Zoo Is a Must Go VR Experience

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm rich Dedmiro and this is rich on Tech Daily Today.

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you about something called Alien Zoo.

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a VR experience from a company called Dreamscape Immersive.

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I experienced it earlier this week at Westfield Century City

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>aka Century City Mall. It's basically a pop up VR experience.

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like a combination movie three hundred and

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>sixty degree world that you actually participate in. So what

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? Well, you get a ticket, they're twenty dollars.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You go inside. There's six people at a time, and

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you get suited up with a bunch of VR equipment,

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>including like a a headset, a backpack, and some sensors

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>on your hands and your legs. And next thing you know,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you are transported into a virtual world. And when I

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>say you're transported, the neat thing about this VR experience

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>versus all others is that you actually see yourself in

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the experience and the other people that are around you.

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>How do they do that? Well, it's pretty mad. You'll

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>just have to experience it to see it. But you

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>can look in the mirror and see your virtual avatar reflected,

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, reflecting to yourself and making the movements that

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you're making. You can walk around and basically you're brought

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to this world that's sort of an alien zoo of

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the future. It reminds me a lot of Jurassic Park.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>So yes, things go wrong at the end and you

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>have to figure a way out, but it's really really

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 1>well done, and you've got some great minds behind this,

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>including Steven Spielberg, former head of dream Works. You've got

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different people that know what they're doing

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to entertainment, and they're looking for the

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>next big thing and this is definitely it. I was

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>so impressed with this experience that lasts just about twelve minutes,

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>but you come away thinking, Wow, this is really the

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>future of how we're going to be entertained. You can

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>touch things in this virtual world. You can feel them,

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you smell things, you feel wetness from certain animals that

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>are let's say, breathing on you or you and it

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is just amazing. You have to really experience it to

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm talking about. Will you get sick? So

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>if you're worried about motion sickness or anything like that.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I did not experience any of that, but I've never

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.399
<v Speaker 1>really experienced that in the VR world. I don't really

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's a concern here because they're using such high

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>end equipment and it feels very natural and very real,

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>so I think you should be okay. There's nothing to

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>be scared of. It's not a scary experience. But they

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>do recommend I think you have to be ten and

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>up with a parent if you want to do it.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I probably wouldn't recommend it for super little kids. I'd

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 1>like to bring my son, who's six, but I think

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>he's a little bit too young for this. I don't

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>even think he'd really understand what's going on because the

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>divide between the real and the imaginary is so is

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>so weird, like you just don't know what's real and

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>what's fake. So definitely go if you can. It's only

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>available for a month again. It's called Alien Zoo VR.

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>It's at the Westfield Century City. Tickets are twenty dollars.

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>They are selling out fast. I don't know if they're

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>going to extend it past the month that they're going

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>for right now, but I think with just seeing how

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>popular it is online, hopefully they extend it again. If

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to see my entire review, you can go

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.400
