July 10, 2015June 22, 2015 by Editorial Team

Dior offers the ultimate immersive experience: Going Backstage with Dior’s 2015 Virtual Reality headset.

Dior announced the creation of its own virtual reality headset called “Dior Eyes”, the world¹s first combination of VR imagery technologies and sound recording in 360°. The French luxury Maison has designed and produced this 100% 3D-printed VR headset in partnership with DigitasLBi Labs. The whole process took them less than 3 months of research and development and prototyping; an approach that lent itself to a speedy execution, advanced materials and a simple and elegant design. “

Going beyond the immersive abilities of existing virtual reality systems, “Dior Eyes” provides a unique new experience. The users find themselves backstage at the recent Ready-to-Wear fashion show. The device provides both the most immersive VR experience ever seen, as well as a 360° performance.

A headset with impressive technical performance, “Dior Eyes” is among the best in the market, say its creators, thanks to the headpiece which embeds a high density screen (515 ppp) providing a 2K image resolution, in other words hardly pixelated, associated with a FOV (Field of Vision) close to 100°.

This technological feat of vision is completed with holophonic audio sound, recorded live in 360° thanks to a binaural microphone that perfectly recreates a “spacious and enveloping” sound sensation following the user’s movements.

Enjoy a digital detox the Mediterranean way.

Are you more connected to your mobile phone that to the most important things in your life? Now, you can get a place at the very first ever daycare for mobile phones. If you are a mobile phone addict and you spend more time with it than interacting with people offline, Gin Mare, the first Mediterranean Gin distilled with Arbequina Olives, Thyme, Rosemary & Basil, offers a challenge: Would you be able to live without your mobile phone for 72 hours?

“The Daycare for Mobile Phones” is the “first” luxury digital detox center to be opened in September in Ibiza. At the brand’s Villa Mare in Ibiza, visitors wishing to reconnect away from the digital world will relax and enjoy cold cocktails and one of the most beautiful islands in the planet.

According to the most recent Technology Trends annual report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, people check their phones approximately 150 times a day.

“We are victims of information overload, hyper stimulated, trying to process too much,” explained Neil Shah, Stress Management Expert. “As much as one-third of people admits to feel symptoms of anxiety when away from their gadgets, showing an alarming growing need in our society for more disconnected time.

“Psychiatrist Edward Hallowell states that technology is the new cigarette: ‘People are becoming addicted without even realizing it’.”

To win a place in the Gin Mare’s daycare you’ll need to pass a stress test and prove you can live 72H without your phone. For this, Gin Mare will send a stress kit to your home with instructions, a custom box to keep your phone resting for 72 hours, and an activation code for a REPLACEMENT MOBILE. A virtual terminal from which you will only be able to see your messages, without answering them. If you pass the stress test and prove that you could really use a digital detox you can go on a wonderful weekend in Ibiza reconnecting with what’s really important in life.
