SEOUL - Wearing virtual reality goggles, Jang Ji-sung burst into tears as her 7-year-old daughter, Na-yeon, emerged from behind piles of wood in a neighborhood park, her playground until she died from blood-related diseases three years ago.
Jang tried to reach closer, only to see her hands penetrate the virtual figure wearing her daughter’s favorite violet dress and carrying a pink purse featuring Elsa and Anna, sisters from Disney’s animated musical “Frozen”. The tearful reunion, aired last week in a documentary by South Korean broadcaster MBC, was made possible by virtual reality technology which embodied Na-yeon in a digital avatar modeled upon a child actor using photos and memories from her mother.
