A red bus tk visitrs alng the streets f New Yrk City’s Rsevelt Island. But this wasn’t a typical sightseeing tur. Passengers all wre virtual reality headsets (虚拟现实头戴设备) fr an eye-pening experience. This experience was designed t engage (使参与) visitrs in creative ways thrugh a new system called CXR. Passengers were transprted int a place where virtual and real envirnments met. There they experienced nine shcking scenes shwing the influence f climate change, especially rising fldwaters.
Scientific mdels suggest that a 100-year fld culd cver mst f Rsevelt Island. Despite the warning, research shws that such a disaster desn’t feel real t many in the public. This discrepancy is exactly what the CXR system aims t deal with.

It’s a gd result frm ur viewpint.”
The CXR system has many pssible applicatins beynd its riginal plan. It can play an imprtant rle in city planning by engaging cmmunities in discussins abut new develpments. By prviding a clear and realistic presentatin f suggested changes, it helps t reduce misunderstandings. This encurages peple t actively express their pinins abut appraches t future planning. “Immersive (沉浸式的) technlgies can bring future challenges int fcus,” Ju said. “They are imprtant fr building the scial will t prepare fr what lies ahead.”
