relive

Relive is a verb formed from the prefix re- meaning again and live, meaning to experience. To relive a past event is to experience it again, often through memory, imagination, or sensory cues. The term is commonly used when people recall or reconstruct experiences, sometimes with heightened emotion, and can apply to memories, dreams, or re-enactments in storytelling or media.

In everyday usage, reliving a moment may involve mentally replaying the sequence of events, re-experiencing emotions, or recounting the experience to others. The concept is widely discussed in contexts such as nostalgia, memory studies, psychotherapy, and narrative media, where individuals attempt to re-create or revisit prior experiences.

Relive is also the name of a technology platform that converts GPS activity data into 3D visualization videos. The service aggregates inputs from fitness apps and devices (such as Strava or Garmin) to generate shareable videos that depict routes with a moving icon, dynamic camera angles, and optional photo overlays. It is particularly popular among cyclists, runners, and hikers seeking to showcase routes, performances, and travel experiences on social media or personal timelines.

Other related terms include reminiscence, memory recall, and reenactment. Reliving experiences can be discussed from psychological, cultural, or media perspectives, and, in the context of technology, can refer to tools that help simulate or visualize past events.
