OACS
about.
As China’s population continues to age, the younger generation faces increasing retirement pressure. OACS proposes a future-oriented retirement assessment system that encourages early preparation. It generates a Support Ability Certificate, which serves as a metric of one’s social influence, motivating individuals to enhance their competitiveness in society.
story.
As MR (Mixed Reality) technology becomes embedded in daily life, the government launches OACS to address the aging crisis. Through MR devices, individuals can view their personal support scores, which influence social behavior and status.
By logging into OACS Online, users input their personal and physical data to receive future life projections and training advice. They then visit an OACS Gym to enhance specific skills. Each training session is rated, and repeated practice improves support ability. Scores can be re-embedded into online platforms, shaping one’s social competitiveness and future opportunities.
