Nvidia Research Turns 2D Photos into 3D Scenes
It would be really great to recreate loved ones after they have past in some sort of digital space.<p>As I’ve gotten older, and my parents get older as well, I’ve been thinking more about what my life will be like in old age (and beyond too). I’ve also been thinking what I would want “heaven” to be. Eternal life doesn’t appeal to me much. Imagine living a quadrillion years. Even as a god, that would be miserable. That would be (by my rough estimate) the equivalent of 500 times the cumulative lifespans of all humans who have ever lived.<p>What I would really like is to see my parents and my beloved dog again, decades after they have past (along with any living ones at that time). Being able to see them and speak to them one last time at the end of my life before fading into eternal darkness would be how I would want to go.<p>Anyway, there’s a free startup idea for anyone—recreate loved ones in VR so people can see them again.
