Some people think that we are what we remember. I mean, we get tons of information every day. But we only “save” a small part of it; only the ones that have some impact on us; the ones that make us smile, cry, get scared, etc. So what if there was a way to save all those moments? What if I told you that there is such an app? The Wist: Immersive Memories app allows us to store old “memories.” Of course, you can watch them whenever you want. All you need is a smartphone with AR support or a VR headset.
The app comes from Wist Labs, which launched this new app a week ago. The company’s co-founder Andrew McHugh also posted a video of a memory he captured with Wist: Immersive Memories.
It’s hard to watch the clip and not get excited. The clip shows McHugh talking to his wife and baby. The clip has been viewed over 900,000 times on Twitter.
Would You Like To “Re-Watch” Your Memories Again?
With the Wist: Immersive Memories, you can record videos of everyday moments. The app uses some of the sensors in a new smartphone model to capture 3D information from the footage. This allows you to turn any video into a VR video.
The app works quite well on iOS. Wist: Immersive Memories uses the iPhone’s LIDAR scanner. It calculates the depth information of a scene, the image, and the sound.
