Oculus Rift Helps Dying Grandma Explore

I find the elderly using new technologies incredibly charming, generally. But this video strikes a special cord for me. First, because when the family emailed Oculus, they sent them a demo unit same day. Secondly, because in the last month of her life, the immobile Roberta Firstenberg had the chance to virtually see butterflies, hear the ocean, and walk outside before she finally gave in to cancer. At least she got to take one last trip up the stairs. (Sometimes the Internet makes you cry.)
