Time for our "Life & Info" segment,... where we focus on information useful for your everyday life.<br />Today we're going to talk about a new virtual reality experience in South Korea.<br />We have our Kan Hyeong-woo with us in the studio to tell us more.<br />OK, Hyeong-woo, what do you have for us?<br />Mark, this is a new type of VR where you can actually touch and feel everything you see in the virtual world.<br />So if there's a door in front of you in the virtual world, a real door exists in the same spot in the real world.<br />Okay, it's best just to see what it is to understand what I'm describing. Let's look at the video.<br />This is the newly opened 'Nomadic VR arcade' at CGV Gangbyeon, a local theater near Dong Seoul Bus Terminal.<br />Up to four people can play the shooting game at the same time to fight zombies and try to save the virtual world.<br />So each person gets a rifle which actually vibrates everytime you fire... to give players the real feeling of shooting.<br />"I felt like I was actually in 'The Walking Dead' and that I was the main character - which was awesome. This was also my first time trying VR that I could touch. It was an incredible and fresh experience."<br />*There are doors, buttons, levers, drawers and other objects that players can touch and feel.*<br />This type of combination between virtual and physical reality tricks your mind into thinking that you are actually there.<br />But this isn't the end at all.<br />Developers say they are thinking bigger.<br />"So hopefully in the future, in the near future in fact, we expect people to come see a superhero movie here in CGV and come to place like here and actually go into the movie and meet the heroes you just met and be one of them."<br />Wow. It looks great. As technology develops faster and faster, we could see that happening sooner than later.<br />Aside from the latest addition to the VR experience,... what else can people can enjoy through virtual reality?<br />Well, let me just tell you this data.<br />So Korea's first VR gaming center opened in 2016.<br />Fast forward three years... now there are approximately 200 of them across the nation. ( )<br />What we are looking at here is Korea's biggest VR gaming center in downtown Seoul.<br />The four-story station has 21 different contents.<br />Most of them are games, but there are VR comics and short movies.<br />As far as the games are concerned, you name it. They have it.<br />Visitors can test their rowing technique along the virtual river with rapids.<br />Or you could show off your driving skills through a racing game.<br />Besides outdoor VR experiences like surfing and fishing,... there are also action and adventure games where you can become the hero.<br />If you enjoy getting chills and goosebumps on your skin,... a VR horror zone is prepared for you.<br />Well Hyeong-woo, I guess that will do it for now. Thank you for coming in today.<br />Thank you for having me.<br />Now, let's take a quick look at some other events that are taking place across South Korea.<br />
