DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEA

This 4 dimensions machine which allows the person to share family moments. It would be a kind of phone booth where the person is granted glasses and a headset. By plugging in his phone on the machine, the person can do a Facetime/ Skype with his/her family (while charging his/her phone). For a 4D experience, gloves are provided as well in order for the person to feel the temperature of the place where the interlocutor is at the moment + smells are delivered. Every glasses and audio headset are disposable.  Device for children who have to travel from one part of their family to another (stepfamily).

The St Pancras’ Memory Simulator is brillant! While waiting for his train, my son made a FaceTime with his stepmom and I. I was cooking Christmas pastery and he said “Dad you dropped too much cinnamon in them, all I can smell is that…!”

I am currently living at my Dad’s in NYC but I decided to join my mother for Christmas. I arrived at the airport with 3 hours in advance and saw this funny phone booth like there. Once I got in there and read the instructions  I FaceTimed my mum who’s living in Florida. Suddenly my fingers tips heated up like crazy in the gloves. Seeing my surprised face my mum asked me what was happening. I said I forgot that even at Christmas time the temperature was still 78.8 F in Miami. #crazystuff #4Dlove

In total immersion! Thanks to this concept you feel like as you are in a dream, but it is not fictional at all.
