CONCEPT

Elevator in movie “Inception” :Exploring Cobb’s unconsciousness

CONCEPT of “iceberg"Time passes. Every good moments, whether we like it or not, are doomed to end. People we like to hang out with, places we like to visit, after few years we find them gone, or changed. We hold on to few special moments in our life by recording them with a camera, but photos and videos are not enough to give us a feeling of re-living the moments.

Our service – “Iceberg” , gives back such special moments and memories to people. By capturing a special moment with 360 degree camera, they can freeze that moment to last forever. With Iceberg and VR gears, people can jump into frozen time in their life and re-live that moment forever, meeting forgotten people, visiting places that no longer exists, so on. What’s more, they can share not only their memories memories but their experience with others.

The Iceberg is like a memory palace. To explain, when people put on VR gear, they will see themselves inside an elevator. This, we got idea from the movie Inception. In the movie, Cobb’s memories are stored in separate floors of the building, and the looker can move from one memory to another by using the elevator. Similarly, users of Iceberg will also designate, store their moments into certain floors. So when they want to revisit certain moment, they can press the button to the floor that contains that memory, and can literally ‘visit’ their memories. Initial Idea of Iceberg is utilizing elevator, but if the service expands, maybe people can have personalized space of their own to store their memories. In that case, like a memory palace, people will be able to architect their own memory archive.

CAPTURING MOMENTS REVISITING

USER RESEARCH

In-depth interview with 3 potential users helped us clear out requirements

After carefully examining the interview, we figured users requirements is to have new methods of saving their memories that can gives them more realistic feelings and experience.

“I would like to go back to the time when I was travelling with my friends and family … Those days remain as good memories and I would like to go back to those times and re-live the moments even just for a while.” -Gabee (interviewer)

USER SCENARIOJihyun, a senior university student in Yonsei Univ, has lots in her mind now that she’s about to graduate. It is more so since she has been struggling to organize things to write on her resume. Looking back, she had done tons of stuff but most of them seems too fuzzy and unorganized in her head. She starts  out on the “Iceberg Service” and spends time browsing and searching the floors, watching clips she saved in each of floor. Then finally she settles on a floor where she stored her memory with her ex-boyfriend. They used to do extracurricular works together that can possibly be related to the position she’s applying for. She goes to floors which have videos of the time when she was with her ex, picking up few more activities she can write on her resume. Finally she can complete her resume with detailed description of her previous works.

Mr.Kim is a businessman who is about to retire. Since his son and daughter recently got married, Mr Kim is spending lonely time at home. While Mr.Kim was watching  “슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다”, those little kids in the show reminded him of his son and daughters. Then, he starts out on the “Iceberg Service” with his wife, visiting 5th floor and spends time watching a clip of his children’s childhood. Watching his son and daughter running around the playground was so vivid that they feel like they travelled back in time. Then, they visits 2nd floor to watch the moment of marriage proposal. Watching Mr.Kim’s proposal, Mrs.Kim teases him. They laugh at each other. Finally, they visits 3rd floor and watches the moment of their marriage. They couldn’t believe how time flew so fast. They talks about how they are lucky to have each other and wiped tears. Using “Iceberg Service”, they no longer spend boring time at home.
