The virtual reality tool “live forever mode” creates digital avatars to simulate a person’s voice and movements

The virtual reality tool called “live forever mode” is revolutionizing the way we interact with the deceased. Created by technology entrepreneur Artur Sychov, this tool features digital avatars that can simulate a person’s voice, mannerisms, and movements after just 30 minutes of observation. The goal is for these avatars to live forever online as a memory of their creators, allowing future generations to interact with them.

Artur was inspired to create this tool when his father was diagnosed with cancer, realizing the importance of preserving memories and conversations with loved ones. With the “live forever mode,” users can hear the voice of their deceased loved ones, talk to them about different topics, and inject a bit of their personality into the avatar.

While some users find the concept of immortality exciting, cyber psychologist Elaine Kasket raises concerns about playing on existential fears to sell products. However, companies like Somnium Space, where the tool is being trialed, are exploring new ways to reimagine our relationship with the dead.

As technology continues to evolve, we are entering a new era where our legacies can live on online. But with this advancement comes the need to consider the consequences on our legacies and the real lives of our loved ones. The “live forever mode” tool is expected to officially launch later this year, offering users a unique way to connect with the deceased and continue their legacies in the digital world.
