It creates a new understanding of what home means in a digital context, where users can interact with their past. The design allows individuals to immerse themselves in their memories while leveraging modern technology to enhance emotional connections and experiences.

Control Room

The Control Room is at the heart of Mem-Home. It serves as a storage area for user-generated materials—photographs, videos, and recordings. Here, users can organize their memories in a way that makes sense to them. This space enables users to transform their experiences into virtual settings, providing an intuitive platform for interaction. The design emphasizes user control, allowing individuals to shape their virtual realities based on personal preferences.

Living Room

The Living Room serves as a central area for social interactions. Designed for hosting guests, it encourages the sharing of memories in an inviting setting. This space is flexible, allowing for various arrangements and configurations. It balances the need for comfort with functionality, facilitating meaningful connections among users and their visitors.

Balcony

The Balcony adds a thoughtful aspect to the overall design, creating a peaceful spot for reflection. In this area, users can connect with past experiences, evoking memories tied to nature and tranquility. The Balcony provides an escape from the demands of digital life, reinforcing the idea of home as a safe place for contemplation.

Garden

The Garden brings a sense of activity to Mem-Home. It offers time-based experiences where users can engage in gardening or play with friends. This space enriches social connections, allowing for collaboration and interaction with both real and digital neighbors. It highlights the importance of community in today’s virtual environments, blending personal and shared experiences.

Mem-Home combines digital and emotional elements, creating a space where personal narratives can flourish and be visually represented. The overall design enables users to create a unique reflection of themselves, rooted in memory and interaction.
