The company promises you will "feel closer than ever to the people you love and the things you enjoy" by not being in their actual presence, but by transporting those interactions to a "next-generation social VR platform" that will allow you to become your "true self" and "free yourself from earthly limitations." That "true self" can even become "digitally immortal," according to the company.
