With technology, the two were able to meet again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s a real paradise,&#8221; Jang Ji-sung, the mother of four children, said of the moment she met her deceased daughter, Nayeon. &#8220;I met Nayeon, who called me with a smile, for a very short time, but it&#8217;s a very happy time. I think I&#8217;ve had the dream I&#8217;ve always wanted.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this magical moment to happen, the production team took 8 months of hard work to incorporate a believable scene where the mother and the VR daughter interact briefly in Virtual Reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare some tissues and check out the video. Note that the video is in Korean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[VR\ud734\uba3c\ub2e4\ud050\uba58\ud130\ub9ac - \ub108\ub97c \ub9cc\ub0ac\ub2e4]  \uc138\uc0c1 \ub5a0\ub09c \ub538\uacfc VR\ub85c \uc7ac\ud68c\ud55c \ubaa8\ub140 | &quot;\uc5c4\ub9c8 \uc548 \uc6b8\uac8c. \uadf8\ub9ac\uc6cc\ud558\uc9c0 \uc54a\uace0 \ub354 \uc0ac\ub791\ud560\uac8c&quot; (ENG\/SPA subbed)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uflTK8c4w0c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of complexity in executing this scene via VR.
