A South Korean television program broadcasts the exact moment in which the woman makes contact with the program.
The debate about the limits of technology is back on the table. A program broadcast on South Korean television has portrayed the moment in which Jang Ji-sung, a woman who lost her daughter Nayeon four years ago, was reunited with her, although yes, through a virtual reality representation. The very hard images show the woman's reaction to her daughter's vision. That has caused an opposite reaction in some of the Internet users who have viewed the video, which you can see on these lines.
"AI has nothing to do with a real person," says one of the people who has opined on the network. “This is emotionally destructive. People must learn when to turn the page, no matter how much it hurts. ” Another of them, along the same lines, comments the following: "This is bad on many levels: emotionally disturbing and screwed up by the people who did it."
However, Jang Ji-sung's position is different, as he has stated to ABD. “Maybe it's the true paradise. I have met Nayeon, who has called me with a smile for a very short time but very happy. I think I've lived the dream I've always wanted. ” The woman hopes that “many people remember Nayeon after watching the program,” he wrote in his blog, which he has currently decided to close.
Virtual reality helmets and gloves
The program, Meeting You, provided Jang Ji-sung with virtual reality glasses, but also offered him gloves so that he could interact with the virtual model. The 7-year-old girl has been completely recreated in three dimensions. Meanwhile, the mother has moved on a green background screen. Before his eyes, a scenery with nature and other everyday elements.
The debate about death and technology will continue to be addressed in the future. The cinema has also done the same, as some actors were virtually revived to return to the big screen. This is the case of Marlon Brando in Superman Returns or Peter Cushing, Wilhuff Tarkin in Star Wars.
