What do people think heaven looks like? Is it a vast, lush green land, similar to the Windows XP wallpaper? Or will we see endless white sandy beaches before us? Today, I want to share with everyone "Reuniting with Beloved Dogs in Virtual Space", which I believe will resonate with many pet owners. The actions of a netizen have indeed moved many people.
For all pet owners, it's clear that unless something unexpected happens, it will always be the elderly sending off the young. Once you start living with your pet, separation is inevitable, no matter how reluctant you are. A foreign netizen, @Wolkwhisky, recorded their dog's sleeping posture a few years ago. The dog passed away seven months ago, and the owner still misses it dearly. They had planned to take the dog on a beach vacation but couldn't due to health issues, so they used virtual reality to create a beach scene and reunite with their dog there.
Daniel, a prominent virtual reality designer, had a Labrador named Sam. They lived together for 13 years until Sam's health issues led to its passing. Daniel had planned outings with Sam but couldn't fulfill them. After Sam passed away, Daniel created a virtual reality world where Sam seemed to be sleeping, waiting for Daniel to wake it up. Of course, for Daniel, Sam is no longer in this world but exists in a virtual one. This method provides comfort and helps alleviate grief.
Daniel also mentioned that using this way to preserve memories is wonderful! It feels like Sam will live on forever. Perhaps because Daniel has overcome their sorrow, they recently adopted a German Shepherd and started a new life. This is a heartwarming story, and it's great that Daniel could record their memories of Sam in such a way. In foreign countries, some people scan their pets and create 3D-printed models as a way to commemorate them, which also seems like a good method.
I made a 3D scan of my dog Sam a couple of years ago. She passed away 7 month ago, I still miss her a lot. I still visit her in this beach scene I made in @UnrealEngine in VR because our last trip was supossed to be a little vacation in a beach, but her health didnt let us go. pic.twitter.com/5hQ1Ob9wCm
