Capture Earpiece
An earpiece designed for the recording phase. You wear it while the experience happens normally. The system collects the neural signal with the other session data.
VR FLASHBACK is an experimental system designed to record a real experience and reconstruct it in immersive form.
A device for those who do not only want to keep a memory, but try to return to it.
A video keeps what a camera sees.
VR FLASHBACK is made to go further.
The system combines neural data, environmental information and sensory signals to create a FlashBack Session, a recording designed to be played back later through the Viewer.

A first look at the system, from the Capture Earpiece to playback.
Four elements designed to work together.
An earpiece designed for the recording phase. You wear it while the experience happens normally. The system collects the neural signal with the other session data.
A sensor network gathers information about the environment and the subject's activity, helping reconstruct the context of the experience.
The heart of the system. It syncs collected data, builds the FlashBack Session and manages storage.
The playback system. VR, binaural audio and visual stimulation are used to reconstruct the recorded session.
Recording happens while you are in the real world.
The Capture Earpiece collects session data without requiring the viewer. The Viewer only comes in during playback.
Each Series 01 ships in its own presentation case. Walnut frame, matte black panels, metal details and an identification plaque.
Inside, the system stays protected until use.
When we remember something, we do not remember a photograph.
We remember a moment.
A place. A sound. A movement. A feeling. The context. Our response to what was happening.
VR FLASHBACK tries to gather these elements inside a single session.
You relive it.
The FlashBack Session is played through the Viewer using images, audio and other signals collected during recording.
The goal is an immersive reconstruction of the original experience. Not a video. Not a photograph. A session.
Wear the Capture Earpiece and live your experience normally. The system collects the data needed for the session while you are in the real world.
Data is synced and organized by the FlashBack Core. The result is a FlashBack Session tied to the recorded experience.
During playback, the Viewer prepares the subject through audio and visual stimulation.
The session is played through the Viewer as an immersive experience.
An experimental system designed for controlled research and private prototype use.
The first production of VR FLASHBACK consists of seven prototype systems. Each unit is numbered, registered and assigned individually.

The product. The system. The technology. Series 01.
But VR FLASHBACK does not exist in the world you think. It is part of Virtual, a sci-fi short film about memory, perception and the line between a lived experience and its recollection.
This is a first draft of the short film. The screenplay is open: if you want to contribute, or create your own complete version of VIRTUAL, you can. When generative AI reaches higher quality, we will make further versions.
