Stamp Launches Interactive Personal History Platform
Stamp today launched an interactive personal history platform for capturing a life's legacy, using voice, photo, video, and data technology to chronicle the heart of the human experience.
Stamp empowers everyone to capture their life stories, reflect themselves, and share exactly how they want to be remembered in the future.
Stamp creates an interactive interface where people capture their likenesses and voices to convey their personal experiences to create a Stamp. These Stamps voice and share their creator's life stories in real time and respond to direct questions.
"Too much of our personal and collective history is in the hands of others, missing the most important part: you, telling your own story," said Jackson Brymer, founder and CEO of Stamp, in a statement. "Of the over 100 billion humans throughout history, less than 1 percent are recorded and remembered in any lasting way, and even then, it was that they lived, never how they lived. Stamp is your story, told by you. We ensure each person's unique history is carried forward to the future."
Creating a Stamp is a guided journey through four essential layers of a what makes each person unique: their memories, stories, appearance, and voice:
- MindMap, built from curated questions, ensures platform simplicity and guides the user to capture their stories, experiences, and memories.
- Interaction Modes: Interact with a Stamp through text, audio, or a real-time video conversation.
- Voice: Reflects the user's voice (or is chosen from a diverse voice library) to allow for audio-based interactions with the person's Stamp, in any language.
- Appearance: A person's visual identity, created from a single photograph, generates a realistic, interactive visual representation of the user with natural, cinematic movement, built from a single photograph.
Individuals can use Stamp to document their own experiences or those of a loved one. Once built, users can speak with their Stamps in any language and ask questions like, 'What's a moment in your life you'll never forget?'" or "'What was the recipe for your famous lasagna?'. The answers are there, in their voices, for anyone who wants to know, now and for generations to come.
"How many times have we all heard the question, 'If you could go back in time and tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?'," Brymer said. "But I believe it's just as important to consider what we'd tell our future selves, or future generations. You might see a photo of me crossing the stage on graduation day, but only I can tell you how that moment felt. That's what Stamp is for. So, everyone can keep, remember, and revisit the moments that make up a life."
