You are visiting the Big Ben in England, but the next second you are in France. Then, suddenly you may see some animals that have disappeared. But you are not in a wonderland. This is what might happen to you in the near future, with the help of VR (虚拟现实)technology.

VR is a computer technology that creates an environment and allows users to see and

even interact (互动) with it. Just wear a pair of VR goggles (护目镜) connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room.

“The most attractive part of VR is that it offers an immersive experience. You become a part of the story. That's why VR movies are popular among users.” said Wang Bing, leader of the Chinese entertainment company Funshow.

According to the Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior announced last month, over 960，000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2% of them have watched VR movies.

VR also helps to treat patients with acrophobia (恐高症)by making them think they are standing on top of a tall building.
