Abstract

The chapter 'Designing for Death: Emerging Technologies for the Process of Dying and the Memorialization of Life' delves into the historical and cultural evolution of death commemoration, from medieval practices to modern digital legacies. It highlights the potential of emerging technologies, such as mixed reality, to revolutionize how we remember and mourn. The authors present a prototype that uses voice recordings and mixed reality to create an immersive memorial experience at gravesites. This innovative approach aims to provide comfort, facilitate remembrance, and encourage reflection on one's own life. The chapter also discusses the psychological aspects of grief and the role of collective memory in the mourning process. By exploring these topics, the chapter offers a compelling vision of how technology can reshape our understanding and experience of death and memorialization.
