iMourning
This is just my app concept. While I am not a programmer and have my hands filled with other obligations at the moment, someone please steal this idea and make it happen. I love to see how it goes.
Nowadays, work life is everything. One wouldn't miss more than a day at work even when a person they love dies. But people need to feel. It makes people alive.
While in tears, have you ever got a feeling: "I want to hold on to his/her hands forever”?
Here is an app that can help you with it. Before someone you love passed away at the deathbed, take a photo of one of his/her hands with the iPad while the iMourning app is on. The app will insert activation points to that photographic hand: the palm and the five fingers. The activation points will interact with your touch on the screen.
When the app is on, you see the loved one's hand from a near distance, with a bit of heavenly clouds on the front.
When you lay one finger on the screen, one finger on the other side of the screen will come up to meet yours.
When you lay the whole palm on the screen, the whole palm from the other side will connect with yours.
Yes. The touch and the interaction are artificial. But, the feeling can be so real. And it may be helpful for someone, say just 30 seconds a day to soothe the pain, until this someone ready to let go and move on.
In traditional Chinese culture, people would burn incense stick to connect/feel the dead loved ones. With this app, people can mourn more privately whenever they needed the most.
Feel. People. Feel.
