TripMoment VR: Staying Here, Seeing the World

Online travel media “TripMoment” has work with the virtual reality technical team “VR Moment”, building the very first “TripMoment VR” at the eastern district of Taipei. Here we can explore the beauty of the world, and visit places we may have no chance to go throughout the lifetime.

Due to the health condition, the rare disease patients have lots of limits during the normal time, not to mention traveling abroad, and their families may also be inconvenience. Understanding this, the founder of “TripMoment VR”, Mr. Lee, invited the patients and their family to the opening ceremony of “TripMoment VR”, to be first to experience the charm of VR.

At the entrance of TripMoment VR, are staff dressed up as flight attendants, and the cabin door setup creating an atmosphere of boarding the plane to travel abroad. Following the staff into TripMoment VR, the children can see there are many cool things like hang glider, wingsuit flying, and jetpack. Among all, hang glider attracts children’s attention most. As they hold the joystick and wear the VR headset, they fly through Da Nang and Golden Bridge in Vietnam to go hang-gliding. During the playing time, the kids share what they saw excitedly “There are houses! Mountains! And an amusement park!”, to their mothers. Next, they try on 4D jetpack in the chair. The chairs are designed to shake from left to right, up and down, just like roller coaster. Everyone says it’s more exciting than the hang glider.

Mrs. Serena C. Wu, the founder of TFRD said “It’s very wonderful that our patients have an opportunity to explore the gorgeous view and all kinds of cultural around the world without travel to a distant place with VR tour. We would like to show our gratitude to TripMoment founder James, Lee, son of Dr. Chung-Teh Lee, our foundation’s founding chairman. Because of that, James know more about our difficult situation. In the future, we also expect that the application of VR can continue to extend to other aspects, to make up for the shortcomings of life through new technology and more humanized applications, to achieve unmet needs and dreams.
