| XxKrazyChaosxX 02/10/20 11:59:30 PM #1: | A chance be reunited with a recreation of her deceased daughter in virtual reality. Jang Ji-sung's daughter Nayeon died in 2016 from an incurable disease at the age of seven. The video (uploaded by MBC Documentary) of Ji-sun interacting with her deceased daughter was aired as part of a South Korean documentary on February 6. The team behind the documentary spent eight months creating the VR recreation of Nayeon, reports PC Gamer. With a headset and pair of haptic gloves, Ji-sung was able to virtually play with a rendering of her daughter, and could even hear an approximation of her actual voice. In the documentary clip linked above, viewers were able to witness the emotional moment when Ji-sung was reunited with her virtually rendered daughter. The clip is around ten-minutes long, with the majority of it showing Ji-sung having a picnic in the park with Nayeon. An emotional family watched on as the grieving mother spoke and played with Nayeon's VR recreation. Due to the nature of the topic, the video is difficult to watch so please take that into consideration before viewing. Interacting with deceased loved ones is something that has yet to be fully explored yet by VR technology. Despite some concerns that it could negatively affect the grieving process, there are a handful of companies that are currently exploring VR capabilities in this area. https://www.ign.com/articles/mother-plays-with-deceased-daughter-in-vr-recreation https://youtu.be/uflTK8c4w0c --- "I woke up at four am by accident in time for the paper to be delivered.
