360in360 Living Memories
We turn personal stories into songs, illustrated flipbooks, films and immersive 360° experiences — bringing humour, nostalgia, technology and humanity together for social good.
Our Mission
Loneliness, social isolation and dementia affect millions of older adults. Yet the remedy is often sitting untouched in plain sight: the stories people carry, the memories that shaped them, the moments that deserve to outlast the people who lived them.
360in360 Living Memories uses immersive 360° technology, AI-assisted storytelling and live performance to bring those memories to life — so a person who cannot leave their room can still sit in the front row of a shared moment, and a family's history can be held, passed on, and felt for generations.
Technology must amplify humanity, not replace it.
What We Create
Every offering below can be commissioned for an individual, a family, an organisation or a community. Each one is tailored to the story you want to preserve.
Your story, turned into an original song. Our Chorister David persona — rooted in a real choirboy's past — uses AI to compose and perform songs from the threads of a life. A friendship, a journey, a love, a loss: set to music and kept forever.
Illustrated, page-turning flipbooks that retell a real life as a storybook adventure. A grandparent's childhood, a family trip, a career, a great journey — beautifully visualised and printed or shared digitally. A keepsake for generations.
Tribute flipbooks that honour a life or a soul's journey. Warm, evocative imagery and narrative that celebrate someone's meaning and legacy — a comfort to families and a lasting memorial that can be revisited any time.
Short films generated from a personal story — a memory brought to moving life. Ideal for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, or as a companion to a talk or workshop. Shareable across family, social media or an event.
Immersive 360° virtual spaces dedicated to a person, a family, a place or a community's memory. Walk through a gallery of photographs, stories, songs and films — accessible from anywhere in the world, for anyone unable to travel.
Live, unamplified storytelling performances streamed in 360° to a global audience. One human voice holds a room while viewers on three continents share the same moment — proof that presence, not technology, is what travels.
Showcase
Life-Story Adventure Flipbook
Two school friends met at Boston Stump in the 1960s — one a choirboy, one a boy scout reading from 1 Corinthians 13. In 1966 they watched England win the World Cup from a Moscow hotel basement. Fifty years later, one drove a 1932 Austin Seven from England to Tokyo through Siberia, while the other documented every dawn.
Their friendship became a song — and this illustrated flipbook. A life-story adventure, told in 34 pages.

Memorial & Spiritual Flipbook
A tribute flipbook honouring a soul's journey — a woman carrying a glowing double helix through a mystical forest, guided toward a light on the path ahead. Warm, spiritual, and deeply personal.
This is what a memorial flipbook can be: not a record of loss, but a celebration of meaning. 42 pages of illustrated remembrance.

Virtual Memorial Galleries
A virtual memorial gallery is an immersive 360° space dedicated to someone's memory — a person, a family, a place or a community. Photographs, stories, songs and films arranged in a space you can explore from anywhere. Below are three 360° tours you can step into right now — each one an example of the experiences that can be embedded into a memorial gallery or explored on its own.

David Wortley has spent over fifty years at the front line of technological change — from the era of steam and mechanical switching to the age of artificial intelligence and the Metaverse. A keynote speaker and futurist who has addressed audiences across six continents, he translates complex technological transformation into human stories, grounded in a single conviction: technology must amplify humanity, not replace it.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a Visiting Researcher at Bournemouth University, and a Project Supervisor at UCL's Global Business School for Health. At 77, in exceptional health and on no medication, he is living proof of the ideas he writes and speaks about.
360in360 Living Memories is the meeting point of that lifetime's work — immersive technology, storytelling, and a belief that the most powerful thing we can do with the tools of the future is keep each other company.
