Planet-X
A globe you can wander through to remember someone who's gone. That's the pitch from Planet-X, and honestly it got me. Most memorial tech so far has been photos, timelines, maybe a candle emoji. This wants to give you a place to go, which is a completely different instinct. Grief often makes people want to physically revisit a spot, and if Planet-X can recreate that sense of place, it could hit a nerve no one else has touched.
I'd want to know how the memories get in there. Is it user-uploaded photos and voice notes, or does the globe pull from social media? And is it a VR headset thing or something you open on your phone? The accessibility question matters a lot, because the people doing the mourning aren't always the ones comfortable with new tech. If it's locked behind expensive hardware, it becomes a niche toy. If it works on a laptop, it could be something real.
The emotional weight is both the strength and the risk. A product like this has to feel reverent, never gimmicky. One wrong animation and it turns from meaningful to creepy. I'm genuinely curious how they handle that line. The concept is strong enough that I hope they've spent as much time on the tone as on the tech.
