Traveling Stories - How memories of places are made

In this future, our primary mode of experiencing the world occurs through products that are delivered to us. The yearly revisit of the COVID variants have curtailed our global travel; virtual modes of experiencing become our second nature. We will travel to other places and learn about different cultures through VR, online street view, and digital storytelling.

This experience is further enhanced by product-centered storytelling. Rather than us traveling the world, the objects will travel and experience the world for us. Each product will come with its unique story that captures how it was made, places it went through, people it encountered with, and events it experienced during its delivery route. In addition to tracking the whereabouts of the product, we can also receive the real-time stories of the places the product is traveling through. The value of a product will start building as it leaves the warehouse as it develops a history of its own through the traveling trajectory and further use.
