Every life deserves an everlasting memory.
altAR is a Memory Studio for families. Gather stories, objects, songs, sayings, rituals, places and photos into a living memorial you can share, revisit, and pass down.
The Memory Studio
From first remembrance to lasting memorial.
altAR works best when the family builds the memorial in stages — begin the story, gather what only loved ones know, then shape the final experience from a richer memory graph.
Invite family memory
Share the Memory Capture Kit so loved ones can contribute stories, sayings, objects, songs, and traditions that deepen the archive.
Shape what lasts
Review what arrives, approve what belongs, and publish a memorial that feels intentional, reverent, and full of meaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a memorial in altAR?
Begin the Memory Studio and our guided AI assistant will help you create the first memorial draft. From there, you can keep shaping stories, photos, rituals, and family meaning inside the owner workspace.
Can I keep a memorial private?
Yes. Every memorial starts private. You control when anything becomes public, and you can invite family memory into the workspace before publication.
Can family and friends help build the memorial?
Yes. You can share the Memory Capture Kit so loved ones can contribute stories, objects, sayings, and traditions. You review what comes in before it becomes part of the memorial experience.
Is altAR only about AR?
No. altAR is a Memory Studio first. AR is one way a memorial can be experienced later, but the heart of the platform is the living memorial knowledgebase that families build together.
