Speculative Design

Why I chose this topic?

I believe that family affection plays an indispensable role in our life. For example, positive family relationships can help you grow and have positive attitudes. Therefore, I speculated my design on family affection, with the hope that people can stay with their family members after they passed away.

What if

Moving from 50 years later to the present, I believe think that based on the existing technology available, Soul can be built with artificial intelligence.
It will have features that can control one’s eyes and ears through a wearable device. It will control your brain so that you can see and talk to the deceased loved ones, and help you get through grief.
