Digital holy “e-motional companion”

…If digital sins exist, why “digital religions” can’t be?
Digitalization and traditional religions usually walk by different ways. But recently Catholic’s Church accepted the relevance of the Information revolution by including a new idea of sins: the “digital sins”.
People that consider themselves “believers” resort to religious images when they are down. We can see that in most undeveloped countries, where people cover their homes with religious images protecting the health and future of their families.
The religion is a pillar to find our emotional security.

This new device places your religious feelings on the top of digitalization wave.
If you are sick at home, in a hospital, or just far away of a church, you can preserve your emotional bond with the spirituality by living a true “digital holy mass” or keeping tribute to your “holy protector”.

The digital holy is an electronic device with an e-paper color screen and a plastic base that lodges a digital processor of images with a very simple operative system. It has a cross-shaped button that allows you to explore the interface, and a SET button to call options menu and accept the selection.

The digital “holy mass” option allows you to live a new religious experience. It transports you through the different themes of a traditional catholic mass (except the Eucharist) wherever you are. This is very important for many people that cannot always move themselves to a church. On the other hand, the “digital holy” option gives you the chance to personalize the image or the holy prayer projected on the e-paper color screen.

The golden ABS plastic shell, looks like a traditional religious item, but has an extra component: the experience of digital religiosity. Digital holy will be your new emotional companion.
The first step for digital evangelization.
