Many residents of Beijing praised the innovation.
One of the cemeteries in China has launched a VR death simulator. Thanks to virtual reality technology, people are able to look in advance at the afterlife, cross the border of life and death, and rethink their own actions.
This kind of "attraction" began to function in the funeral home of the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing. The VR simulator assumes two different scenarios of what is happening. The first allows you to observe the preparation of the cremation of the "deceased" and other ritual preparations. In China, this delicate process is quite complex, consists of eight parts and requires the finest skills and abilities from the staff.
Scenario Two: A “dying man” suddenly loses consciousness in his office in the middle of a working day. After a while, the hero of the imitation is in the hospital and regains consciousness. He hears his relatives talking to doctors about his incurable disease. Then he “dies”, bright lights appear around, after which a big explosion is heard and a person finds himself among the snow-white clouds in front of the heavenly gates, similar to a Chinese temple. Various fragments of his life run before the eyes of the "deceased".
Residents of Beijing, who have already dared to try out such a VR simulator, generally positively assessed the innovation. The same can be said for representatives of the fields of activity using virtual reality technologies. They believe that the experience after death can be very useful and effective in the treatment of patients with certain diseases, writes Newsweek.
The revolutionary Babaoshan Memorial Cemetery has long earned its reputation as one of the most innovative in the world. It has been using modern technologies in the ritual sphere for many years. For example, they provide 3D printing services for face reconstruction, which are resorted to by the relatives of those who died, whose face was crippled beyond recognition for one reason or another.
