A VR memory explorer that transforms personal photos into an immersive 3D exhibition experience. Users navigate memories through spatial positioning based on GPS data and temporal height mapping by year. Users can browse their photo by its location, there is an virtual exhibition for each city showcasing their memory there. A temporal browsing via crystal ball interaction, hand-gesture photo switching, and AI-generated yearly summaries. The design combines geographic and chronological memory organization with intuitive VR interactions. Users begin in a memory plaza where photos appear as glowing stars, positioned geographically and layered by time. A central crystal ball enables temporal navigation—swiping reveals different years with AI-generated summaries displayed on screen. Each star represents a photo; touching opens a detail panel showing the image, location information, and nearby memories from different times. Grabbing a star opens a gateway to that city's personal gallery. Stepping through transports users into an immersive exhibition space with a stellar aesthetic, creating the sensation of traveling back through their own infinite universe of memories.
