Abstract

Social media, wearable devices and other advanced forms of interaction are enabling digital immortality as a post-mortem possibility where people can manage their digital legacy and recreate digital lives as well. In this paper, we study how users perceive digital immortality. In this discuss the results from our research using a focus group to shed light on the topic in a value-oriented perspective. During analysis of the focus group transcription, we reflected on key human values that our participants manifested during discussion, and how important they are in the design of digital immortality features that understand and respect humans needs, from the very beginning of systems usage to the legacy of data, concerning the emotional moment that death provides. This qualitative and quantitative research analyzes these data and proposes important insights in this area.
