After three centuries of continuous investment, Star Technology has finally ushered in the age of virtual reality. But before it can be opened to the public, it will need at least 50 years of safety testing. After weighing the pros and cons, Morningstar Technology has decided to recruit members of the public as testers. The company can recruit only 1,000 testers each year. If a tester agrees, the entire testing process can be livestreamed for the public, and the tester will receive most of the profits earned during the test.
First tester: A university professor who was exposed six months ago for sexually harassing students and condemned across the internet. He hopes to prove his innocence through a public test. (Completed)
Second tester: An escaped member of a drug trafficking organization. To vent his anger, he kidnapped the child of an undercover police officer. The police hope to use virtual reality to simulate a real environment and get him to reveal his entire plan, allowing them to determine where the kidnapped child is being held. (In progress)
Third tester: The frail heiress of a company wants to test her love. Once the halo of her status is stripped away, will he still love her just as much?
