Virtual Reality Information
This will be the world's first Gesture Xtreme (GX) Virtual Reality wedding. The bride and groom's movements will be tracked and analyzed by the GX System. They will be standing in front of a camera that will capture their live image and place them under a computer-generated huppah. The invited guests and the Internet audience will view the bride and groom's live onscreen video image as they perform the wedding ceremony from "within" an interactive digital world. This unique environment uses digitized Canadian paintings to represent our four distinct seasons, creating an artistic setting for the proceedings. The bride and groom will interact with snow in the Winter and leaves in Autumn. In the Spring the bride will interact with the flowers in the Summer the groom will be breaking a virtual glass.
