AfterLifeVR - Virtual Reality game

My name is Michael Smith. I am a venturing new independent game developer with an emphasis on VR or virtual reality. I am wanting to create a VR game unlike none other. I call it AfterLife VR. I have to tell you my dream I had one night for you to understand.

One night a few weeks ago, I had a wild dream. I saw my grandmother in a vision. We didn't speak but just enjoyed each other's company. She has been passed away for years so this was just so nice to se her again even though I could't hear her. When I woke up the following morning I had a great idea. What if we wanted to see our loved ones again? It could be a pet, relative, dear friend, etc. 

Imagine this. You take a scanned photograph of the person/pet/etc. who you want to see. Upload it within the game application on your computer. After a few simple configurations you put on your VR headset example oculus rift, htc vive, etc. You are now in a very comfortable environment like a room in a home, park, etc. You see a light and out comes walking forth your person/animal you wanted to see. They see you. Interact with you. Give you a hug as well you hug them back. 

What is a big regret someone has? Never being able to say goodbye to a loved one again before they go. This application could be a platform for gamers, psychiatrists, doctors, just about anyone. Maybe you lost a pet and wish you could see their face one more time. 

This game would not be for the timid or to joke with. This will be emotional. To achieve such realism though, I would need to put together a powerful computer as well need the necessary tools for 3d modeling, facial recognition/mapping, animation rigging, photorealism, a game/software development platform that can take on the strenuous tasks involved as well virtual reality headsets for development and testing. This will quite be the biggest project I have ever taken on. But the rewards will be great. 

I would give anything to see some of my family members that have passed again. Even one of my wife's and I first pet we had together. This is something I believe everyone can  relate too. Please help me achieve this. Help me make AfterLifeVR a reality.
