It's not exactly heaven, and neither of you would actually be there in person, but now there's a universe where you and your loved ones can live forever.

As long as you pay for the privilege.

The goal of the metaverse created by Somnium Space is to allow you to meet up your dead relatives and friends, but whether that is a good idea is still up in the air.

Live Forever

Meeting your dead loved ones isn't free of course. The mode costs about $50 per year.

People who enter the company's virtual reality world and turn on the feature will have their body language, movements, speech, and other character traits recorded and stored on Somnium's server.

If users were to die, others can log on and interact with their newly created artificial intelligence representations, who will look and act like the deceased.

Artur Sychov told VICE that if he died, people could come in and have a conversation with his virtual friend. That is the goal.

Sychov said if he dies.

Death Stopper

Whether it is a good idea to emulate the dead is still up for debate. Is a metaverse-based loved one contributing to an extended grieving period?

Humans are always searching for immortality and it is unlikely to stop. A real life person who doesn't die is more dangerous than an undying significant other made of code.

Musk thinks living forever is a bad idea, but that doesn't mean scientists won't find new ways to delay passing.

It is possible that this is a way to make life safer.
