The idea is to film a video of the person before his death and then show it on the screen as though he is speaking with others and answering their questions, based on previously inputted data.
Marina Smith, who died at the age of 87, appeared on the screen in front of mourners on July 29th, after her corpse was cremated in Nottingham, Britain, according to the British daily Daily Mail.
Smith, a teacher and philanthropist, died in June and then talked about her life and spiritual qualities, as well as answering questions from family members who attended her burial, thanks to the hologram.
And the technology used is now accessible in the UK, having been created by the late woman’s son, Stephen Smith, who is the founder and CEO of Story File, an artificial intelligence business based in Los Angeles, California.
The attendees were caught away when the late woman responded to their questions with artificial intelligence technology, some of which were about her upbringing and life experiences.
Stephen believes that the responses are truthful, claiming that the system uses roughly 20 cameras connected together to record fragments of individuals before death as they answer a series of questions.
The specialists then scan the images and videos, identify the segments, and use them to teach the artificial intelligence to respond to the questions in a seemingly natural manner.
Following that, the product is uploaded to the company’s platform, and when the individual in question dies, it may be shown to people attending the funeral, while the technology deceives those chatting to the deceased into believing there is some type of reaction.
To use the service, a person must answer 75 questions from a pool of 250,000 possible questions, and their answers are converted into digital format via a two-minute video.
If the deceased person does not respond when he appears on the screen, the hologram asks inquiries about different topics.
Artificial intelligence allows a lady to talk to mourners during her funeral.
