To make the offer to the girl, the Australian reproduced the favourite place of her childhood in virtual reality

25-year-old Australian Alex Lackovic specially for his girlfriend Kelly Lynn Norman created a virtual location in the form of her favorite place and made her an offer right in the virtual reality. This is the first such case in Australia.

The couple lives in Melbourne, Alex is a carpenter, and Kelly is a social worker. Lovers loved to joke that their relationship is aimed at marriage, so they are already "virtually married". And when Alex decided to make a proposal to the girl, he chose a virtual reality.

"If there were more people like her, the world would be better than now. I knew that I would make her an offer, since I met her. Well, because it's Kelly. "

Kelly loves stories about walking dead, and Alex invited her on the weekend to kill virtual zombies in the shooter Zombie Outbreak. Then he told the girl that he was making himself a birthday present.

A month before the significant day, Alex talked about his idea to the developers of the local VR-company Zero Latency. Technical director Scott Vandonkelaar agreed to help him (although the guy thought that this is too large-scale work and he will be refused).

"We wanted to do this, because we love to give people emotions and make them happy. It was an excellent chance to show what a virtual reality is capable of: it's not just games. "

**Technical director of VR-company Scott Vandonkelaar**

Alex's plan was vague, but then the representative of the company asked him about his girlfriend's favorite place. It turned out that this tree was in front of the house of grandmother Kelly in South Africa, where she grew up. In Australia, the parents and sisters of the girl live, but the rest of the relatives stayed in Africa. Alex wanted that at the time of the proposal, Kelly felt as if she were in the family.

"When she thinks about the happiest place for herself, she remembers how she spent time with her friends and family there."

Employees of Zero Latency took several photos of this place and two weeks of work. Scott and Alex even rehearsed the moment of the offer.

When the appointed day arrived, the couple came to the site. In the midst of a dynamic game, the headset suddenly "rebooted", and Kelly found herself in her favorite place. Then Alex got up on one knee and made a favorite suggestion: "We are already virtually married, why not make it a reality?"

Scott Wandonkelaar says that at this point he was nervous almost as much as Alex: suddenly Kelly does not recognize the grandmother's house in the design of his team? When it became clear that the girl was delighted, he exhaled with relief. Of course, she said yes. The wedding was scheduled for February 2018.

When the couple took off their helmets, it turned out that they were being watched by relatives and friends.

Kelly was so impressed with the virtual adventure that she could not even think that Alex was going to offer her to marry him.

"If you think about it now, it becomes obvious why I keep flowers, but then it took me a while to understand. I was just at home for a few seconds. But when I realized what was happening, I wanted to see him [Alex] really, without glasses. "
