Black Mirror has proposed several situations in which technological evolution would radically change our daily lives. Sometimes, it is reality that seeks to emulate fiction and the result is scenes like that of this Korean documentary, which shows the emotional moment in which a mother rejoices with her daughter's recreation in virtual reality in such a realistic way as disturbing

The documentary Meeting You explores the premature loss of Nayeon , who was seven years old when he died, and in the final ten minutes he facilitates the meeting thanks to virtual reality glasses, sensitive gloves and a large room with green chroma to create the stage in the one that mother and daughter interact. Not only is the 3D replica extremely realistic, but it is also able to move around the room and speak thanks to a voice system.

The mother, visibly excited like the rest of the family. who witnessed the moment from the outside, shares a few minutes with this reply: he has a conversation with her, simulates a birthday party and even Nayeon reads his mother a farewell letter. The meeting has truly realistic moments, even with a physical contact between mother and daughter thanks to the gloves.

Technological advances through virtual reality have led us to situations that we would call science fiction until a few years ago. In this decade we have seen really significant advances and digital characters have been created that have replaced deceased actors, such as Paul Walker in Fast & Furious 7 and even holograms such as Hatsune Miku have emerged as singers of true bands when they have not embodied mythical singers like Whitney Houston or Maria Callas . But the encounter between mother and daughter is a step further, perhaps crossing an emotional and ethical limit.
