“口袋妖怪”的另类应用，让你看到逝去的亲人

A Japanese tombstone company is using the augmented reality technology made popular by Pokemon Go to allow mourners to “catch” pre-recorded video messages from their deceased loved ones in cemeteries.

一家日本墓葬公司正使用增强现实技术使得吊唁者能够在墓地里“收到”他们去世的爱人或亲人生前录制的视频。“口袋妖怪”的风行使得增强现实技术近来很流行。

Named “Spot Message”, the new Pokemon Go-inspired app is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Katori, president of Ryoshin Sekizai, a tombstone company based in Katori, Japan’s Chiba prefecture. He claims that the new technology realizes his longtime dream of preserving realistic memories of the dearly departed for the living. “My uncle, who ran a paint store, died eight years ago after he fell from a tall structure at work,” 33-year-old Katori said.

这款受“口袋妖怪”启迪的新手机软件叫做Spot Message，是一家日本墓葬公司Ryoshin Sekizai董事长Yoshiyuki Katori的创意。该公司位于日本千叶县。他声称增强现实技术实现了他长久以来的梦想，为活着的人保留去世之人的真实影像作为回忆。33岁的Katori说：“我的叔叔曾经经营了一家油漆店。八年前他在一栋高层建筑上工作时不幸坠落身亡。”

“His death was so sudden, and it shattered the lives of his family. I also respected him a lot, so I would often visit his grave, consulting with him in my mind whenever I had issues concerning my business. I wondered how comforting it would be if he could talk to me at his grave, with messages like ‘How are you doing?’ and ‘Hang in there.’ ”
