VR Lets You Feel Pain

Have you ever tried VR? VR means 'virtual reality.' You put a special mask over your eyes, and you can see a new world. A 3D virtual world! 你有嘗試過虛擬實境嗎？只要戴上特別的頭盔，就可以看到一個立體的新世界。 VR looks so real! You can play many different VR games… and you feel like you are inside the game! VR games can be really fun! VR感覺就像真的在遊戲裡面！ But, I don't like a new idea from one VR company. One VR company now has an armband that lets you feel pain! Ouch! 有一家VR公司發明了會讓你感覺到痛的手臂套。 So, if you are playing a VR game like VR baseball, if the VR ball hits you, the armband will give you a small electric shock, so that it feels like you got hit by a ball. 假如你在玩VR棒球賽的時候，一顆球打到你，手臂套就會放電，感覺就像被真的球打到一樣。 Hmmm, maybe that feels more real, but I don't like electric shocks! I like another idea. You wear special gloves, and the gloves make you feel like you are holding something or touching something. 另外也有一種手套，會讓你覺得握著東西或是碰到什麼。 The gloves are cool, but electric shocks? No, thank you! But, maybe other people will like the new armband VR idea. Maybe some people will like it because they want to make the VR game feel super real. 也許有人會喜歡手臂套，因為這樣遊戲就更真實。 But me? I'm going to say 'no' to electric shocks, how about you? ________________________________ Vocabulary VR遊戲用各種辦法讓人身歷其境。 1) real 真實的 This game is too real! 這個遊戲太真實了！ What happened? 發生了什麼事？ A woman was coming after me. 一個女的追殺我。 And? 然後呢？ And she hit me and it hurt! 然後她打我，很痛呢！ 2) inside 在裡面 So both of you were inside the game? 所以你們兩個人都在遊戲裡？ Yeah, and I wanted to get out. 是啊，我想要出來。 3) game 遊戲 That sounds like a fun game! 聽起來是很好玩的遊戲。 No, it's scary! 不，它很嚇人！ I had to run and run. 我得拼命跑。 4) glove 手套 If you wear these gloves… 要是你戴著這雙手套… You can hit her back. 你就可以反擊。 The gloves can do that? 手套可以那樣？ Let me wear them. 讓我戴吧。 Would you read the words with me? real 真實的 inside 在裡面 game 遊戲 glove 手套 ________________________________ Quiz 1.
