Where Story Comes Alive
Combining Virtual Reality and storytelling therapy, this project explores a new medium for expressing inner stories and facilitating healing.

This space is designed to visualize negative thinking patterns, helping users recognize harmful thought processes linked to personal events and offering an opportunity for transformation.
Reflection Area
At the trail's end is a reflection point where users settle their thoughts, while AI generate hot air balloon as suggesting strength and resilience. This comfortable, relaxing area helps users reflect and find peace.
Open sharing area
The open area represents the entire world of MemoryVerse, comprising each user's story and creating a community that fosters a sense of belonging.
Group sharing area
There are two sharing spaces, outdoor and indoor, allowing users to choose. The design will include curved shapes, soft textures, and calming lighting to enhance relaxation and emotional connection during the session. Each user can bring a personal item to the group share area,which the familiarity of it can provide a sense of safety and inclusion.
