360° EDENGATE: The Edge of Life

I-EDENGATE: The Edge of Life ngumdlalo wokuphuma kwesiko oqhutshwa wukulandisa, ocubungula kakhulu izindikimba zokuba wedwa, inkumbulo, kanye namandla omoya womuntu. Lo mdlalo owadalwa ngesikhathi sodlame lwe-COVID-19 emhlabeni jikelele, usebenza njengesibuko esimnyama nesisebenzisanayo sokuzizwa uwedwa, ukungaqiniseki, kanye nokuthula okungazelelwe okwakubeka uphawu kuleso sikhathi. Ngokubeka umdlali ezweni elishiywe kabi, lo mdlalo umema uhambo lokuzihlolisisa. Okuhambisana nalesi sikhathi esibuhlungu ukuhlola kwalo mdlalo imidiya egxilisa umuntu, ikakhulukazi ngomuzwa wevidiyo engu-360-degree eyenzelwe ukudonsela ababukeli ujule endaweni yawo eyincithakalo. Emnyombweni wawo, umdlalo ulandela indaba kaMia, usosayensi osemncane futhi ohlakaniphile ovuka esibhedlela esingenalutho nesibhidlikayo edolobheni eliqanjiwe lase-Edengate. Njengoba engenazo izinkumbulo futhi ezungezwe ukuthula okukhulu, uMia kumele azulazule kuleyo ndawo yedolobha eshiywe kabi futhi embozwe yizimila ukuze ahlanganise izehlakalo ezaholela ekunyamalaleni kwabantu ngokuzumayo. Indlela yokudlala ifana kakhulu nohlobo lwama-walking simulator, egxile kakhulu ekuxoxeni izindaba ngokusebenzisa indawo ezungezile, ukuhlola, nokuxazulula izindida ezilula esikhundleni sokulwa noma izindlela eziyinkimbinkimbi. Abadlali bafunda ngokwedlule kukaMia nesiphetho sedolobha ngokusebenzisana nezinto ezishiyiwe, ukufunda imibhalo eshiywe ngemuva, nokulalela imicabango yangaphakathi kaMia. Amandla e-EDENGATE asezimeni zawo. Isiqondiso esibukwayo sinendawo enhle kodwa eshaqisayo lapho imvelo nezinto ezingajwayelekile ziqala ukuthatha kabusha umhlaba kakhonkolo. Lokhu kuxoxwa kwezindaba okubonwayo kukhuliswa umculo othintayo nongokomzwelo owabhalwa u-Laryssa Okada, othwebula kahle umehluko phakathi kokuphelelwa ithemba nethemba. Isivinini esinqunyiwe nesingajahi sivumela abadlali ukuthi bazwe usizi oluthule lwale ndawo, okwenza uhambo lukaMia lube isipiliyoni esijulile ngokwengqondo nangokomzwelo. Ukuvala igebe phakathi kwemidlalo yendabuko esesikrinini kanye nokugxila okujulile kwezinzwa, umhlaba we-EDENGATE wanwetshwa ngesipiliyoni sevidiyo esikhethekile esingu-360-degree. Isetshenziswe njengesingeniso esigxilisayo nesandiso sendaba, le fomethi ye-360-degree ivumela ababukeli ukuthi bangene ngqo ezindaweni ezishaqisayo zomdlalo ngaphandle kokudinga ukusebenzisa izilawuli zendabuko. Ngokubuka okuqukethwe ngama-headset e-virtual reality, ukujikijela ifoni, noma ukuhudula umbono kusiphequluli sewebhu, abasebenzisi bangabuka kunoma iyiphi indlela. Bangabuka phezulu ezibonini zesibhedlela ezikhanyayo, babuke phansi emaphasishi amade agcwele udoti, noma babheke emuva emahlombe abo emigwaqweni yedolobha embozwe yizimila. Lesi sipiliyoni se-360-degree sishintsha ngokuyisisekelo indlela ababukeli abazibandakanya ngayo nomhlaba we-Edengate. Kutrailer evamile noma ividiyo yokudlala, umqondisi ubalisa ncamashi lokho ababukeli abakubonayo nokuthi bakubona nini. Kuvidiyo ye-360-degree, umbukeli uba ngumhlanganyeli osebenzayo ekubukeni incithakalo, ephoqelekile ukuthi azifunele yena ngokwakhe endaweni. Uma kuhlanganiswa nomsindo wendawo—lapho umsindo wamanzi aconzayo, ama-alamu akude, noma imisindo engaziwa ishintsha ngokwemvelo njengoba umbukeli ejika ikhanda lakhe—lesi sipiliyoni sibangela umuzwa ofanayo wokuba wedwa nokuba sengozini uMia awuzwayo emdlalweni. Lokhu kusebenza njengesingeniso esihle kakhulu sezici zengqondo zomdlalo, kukhombisa indlela ividiyo egxilisayo engakhulisa ngayo imizwa yokuxoxwa kwezindaba emidlalweni yevidiyo. Ekugcineni, i-EDENGATE: The Edge of Life ingaphezu nje kwendida mayelana nesibalo sabantu esinyamalele; iwukuhlola imizwa yomuntu lapho ebhekene nokuba wedwa ngokuphelele. Ngokusebenzisa ifomethi yevidiyo ye-360-degree kanye nomdlalo oyinhloko, abadali bakwazile ukwandisa isisindo somkhathi we-Edengate ngale kwemingcele yemonitha yendabuko. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa komdlalo wevidiyo oqukethe imizwa yomuntu siqu, ogxile endabeni, kanye nesipiliyoni sevidiyo esigxilisayo nesisebenzisanayo kudala uhambo oluyingqayizivele lwemidiya eminingi, okushiya ababukeli benemicabango mayelana nokuthamba komphakathi kanye nemvelo ehlala njalo yokuxhumana kwabantu.
