日前，全球首个VR支付产品“VR Pay”在深圳亮相。VR Pay由阿里巴巴旗下的蚂蚁金服研发。在虚拟环境中，不管是购物、直播还是游戏，当涉及支付时，用户再也不用取下VR眼镜，拿出手机，打开支付应用付钱。而是可以直接通过触控、凝视、点头等交互方式，在3D虚拟现实中完成支付。有体验者戏称，以后再也别说“剁手”了，有了VR Pay，不用手也能买买买了。
Alibaba's finance arm has shown demonstrated a payment service that will allow virtual reality shoppers to pay for things in future just by nodding their heads.

VR Pay, the new payment system, is part of Alibaba's efforts to capitalise on the latest technology in online shopping.

In 2015, for example, it introduced a facial recognition technology for Alipay mobile payments service advertised as 'pay with a selfie'.
同类例子还有2015年，阿里巴巴为支付宝移动支付服务引入了面部识别技术，美其名曰“自拍支付”。
The VR payment technology means people using virtual reality goggles to browse virtual reality shopping malls will be able pay for purchases without taking off the goggles.

User identity can be verified on VR Pay via account logins on connected devices or via voice print technology that recognises each person's unique voice.
通过在互连设备上登陆账户或能够识别个人声音的声纹技术，VR支付可以实现用户识别。
Lin said this was the most convenient method in a VR setting compared with other biometric recognition technologies.
林锋说比起其他生物特征识别技术，VR的这种方法最为方便。
But passwords will still be needed for authentication, which the user can also enter with head movements, touch, or by staring at a point on virtual display for longer than 1.5 seconds, he said.
但身份验证仍需要密码，用户也可以做一些头部动作、触摸或盯着虚拟展示的一处超过1.5秒即可，他说。
VR Pay is expected to be ready for commercial launch by the end of this year.
