Couples who want children of their own got
a brief taste of parenthood by creating their own "digital babies"
during a virtual reality art exhibit in the Netherlands.
荷蘭舉行的一場虛擬實境藝術展中，想要有自己小孩的伴侶，可以藉由創造「數位嬰兒」，短暫體會當父母的滋味。
Visitors selected the baby’s character
traits, physical appearance and other features by answering questions on a
computer tablet.
訪客透過平板電腦回答問題，選擇嬰兒的人格特質、外貌和其他特徵。
They sat in sofas in a futuristic room
with soft lighting and flowing drapes, which was all part of an installation
called "IVFX: posthuman parenting in hybrid reality," created by
Dutch visual artist Victorine van Alphen.
荷蘭視覺藝術家艾爾芬推出的這項「IVFX：後人類混合現實為人父母體驗」裝置藝術展，場地是個充滿未來感的房間，有柔和的燈光和飄逸的布幕，讓參觀民眾坐在沙發上。
Their choices were then used to form a
computer generated infant - a pulsating pink creature in an incubator, which
squealed and had a red glowing heartbeat.
接著電腦會依據他們的選擇，在培養器裡生成一個嬰兒，這個粉紅色的蠕動生物
，會發出尖叫，心跳會發出紅光。
