The Mirage VR Fabricators work with individuals through interviews, collection of data, and online communication to recreate a personal “happiest memory” in virtual reality. The following video is an example from the Mirage Memory Vault. This individual memory can be explored through click and drag on the 360 video experience.

The Mirage: Virtual Memory Spa, can be visited on our platform virtualmemoryspa.org. The tour guide, MO, will guide you through the Mirage virtual site. This following video is her first set of instructions.
