在元宇宙举办婚礼
How the immersive virtual world known as the metaverse, which few of us understand, will change the traditional wedding is, at the moment, anyone's guess.***
关于元宇宙这个沉浸式的虚拟世界,我们中了解它的人还不多;它将会如何影响传统婚礼,眼下也没人说得清楚。

But the possibilities of having an event unfettered by the bounds of reality are interesting enough to consider. Think guest lists that number in the thousands. Gift registries that feature NFTs, or nonfungible tokens. Maybe even destination weddings in space.
但是,可以举办一场不受现实约束的婚礼,的确是有趣到让人心动。想想看:几千人的宾客名单,以 NFT(非同质化代币)为主的礼物登记清单,甚至还可能有太空婚礼。

Like a ceremony within a video game, any weddings that occur solely in the metaverse are currently not legal. The Gagnons had a hybrid wedding of sorts. The two were married in person Sept. 4, while simultaneously hosting a virtual ceremony in Virbela.
就像电子游戏中的仪式一样,任何只发生在元宇宙的婚礼目前都是不具有法律效力的。加尼恩夫妇举行的算是一种混合婚礼。两人于 9 月 4 日举办了一场线下真人的婚礼,同时也在 Virbela 举行了一场虚拟仪式。

They livestreamed their nuptials for those who could not be there in person. Guests of the virtual ceremony attended via computer, which required downloading software and then creating an avatar.
他们为那些不能亲临现场的人直播了他们的婚礼。虚拟仪式的宾客通过电脑参加,他们需要下载一个软件,然后创建一个数字化身。

The experience of moving through a virtual world as an avatar — a kind of idealized version of yourself — creates a more immersive, emotionally satisfying experience than Zoom, Traci said.
特拉西说,作为数字化身——一个理想化的自己——在虚拟世界中的经历创造了一种比在 Zoom 中更身临其境、情感上更满意的体验。
