Intel has been using virtual reality to help seniors in a Brazilian home for elderly people realize their travel dreams.
The project, a collaboration between Intel and online portal Razões para Acreditar (Reasons to Believe), gave VR glasses to the nursing home residents to take them to places either from their past or that they had always wanted to visit -- including Spain, Italy and Israel. In the video, seen here, we see them interviewed about how they have always longed to travel. One woman emigrated from Spain when young, but has never been back. Of course, their experiences make for emotional viewing.
