Chinese author and sci-fi writer, Liu Cixin, has brought his award-winning novel to ___ through a new VR experience that has left fans in awe. The 25-minute immersive experience takes viewers on a journey through the towering mega structures of the Chengdu Financial City Twin Towers, a breathtaking sight that is both a testament to the fusion of sci-fi imagination and real-world architecture. Guests don special HMDs, or head-mounted displays, and are transported to a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly alien.
The VR project is part of a nationwide tour, with previous stops in Xi’an and Guangzhou, and is designed to allow fans to experience the vivid scenes described in Liu’s novel, “The Three-___ Problem”. The project’s goal is to introduce Chinese sci-fi to an international audience, “following the novel’s success at the Hugo Awards in 2015.” Since then… the book has been translated into over 30 languages… solidifying its place as one of the most popular and influential works of Chinese literature in recent years.

Virtual reality technology.
Virtual reality (VR) technology has revolutionized the way we experience and interact with digital information. By immersing users in a fully interactive, three-dimensional environment, VR has opened up new possibilities for entertainment, education, and training. From gaming to healthcare, architecture, and even therapy, VR is being used to create engaging and realistic experiences that can simulate real-world situations, making it an attractive option for a wide range of applications.
With the advancement of VR technology, the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are becoming increasingly blurred, and it is likely that we will see even more innovative uses for VR in the future. One of the key benefits of VR technology is its ability to create a sense of presence and immersion… making users feel as if they are actually inside the virtual world.
This can be especially useful in fields such as education and training, where students and professionals can practice and learn in a highly realistic and interactive environment. VR has also been shown to have potential therapeutic benefits, “such as helping people overcome phobias and anxieties,” “and even treating conditions such as PTSD.” As VR technology continues to evolve… we can expect to see even more exciting applications and innovations in the years to come.
