While I was on my evening walk, I thought about a type of game called “Memory Palace.” It is not a game but a place in the game engine with an FPS look where you can store your memories: small notes, drawings, reminders, voice records, TODOs, calendars, maps, website links, screenshots. You can arrange them as much as you want.

I am picturing it as a house and you can put your memories on the walls, shelves, tables, in the bed, kitchen cabinets. It will help you memorize things and then when you need it, you can just picture that house in your mind and recall what you stored in it.

And I am thinking if it would be cool to have a VR version of it.

Also, you cannot delete things, but you can push your memories into the different dimension. And you would be able to visit that dimension if you want.

Also, you can personalize your house. If your house runs out of space, you can go and put things in the streets outside the house or add more houses.

And maybe make it online, allowing other players to visit your place.

We have so many productivity virtual worlds, but they are empty, meant to help you ‘focus’. I would love to have a cluttered place as possible. I like to have a lot of tabs in my browser; it helps my mind to wonder and come up with ideas. But tabs are one-dimensional; you only have web sites. I want to have more media: small drawings, some random pieces of text, voice memos, screenshots, maybe even snippets of video.
