Dear Ms Cai
Thank you for your 1. about virtual reality. We were amazed by Realcine’s achievement in allowing 2. To experience the Himalayas , without ever having to go there .Certainly ,no one using it for fun and games will be 3. .
However , in many ways virtual reality seems more like a toy rather than a useful technology. We would like you to further explain how we can use this in
4. Planning .We are not very 5. as to whether an operator will be able to use Realcine easily.
We are concerned about the price , as well.
You 6. the idea that we will save money if we use Realcine. This may be true in the long term. However ,the cost of building a VR 7. is quite high ,and this seems like a disadvantage .Please send us more information on the daily costs and on how much time a design usually takes using Realcine .Otherwise ,we cannot go forward.
While we are very interested in Realcine ,we will need much more information before we can make a decision.
