Remember! VR as a vessel to explore memories
Remember! is a VR experience about Lin, a cyborg whose memory is fading. To preserve their past, Lin visits a ’’memory rehabilitation center," where fragmented childhood memories are injected into their mind. The viewer explores six childhood memories from around the world through three interactive, minimalist black-and- white scenes. Custom soundscapes evolve as viewers collect "souvenirs," unlocking new sound patterns. Simple hand gestures drive the interaction, creating an intimate, poetic experience. In the final scene, viewers can draw their own memories in virtual space. Outside the headset, they are invited to share a personal childhood memory in a recording room for others to hear, completing the journey through memory, sound, and art.
