WASHINGTON (ABC7) — Just slip on a pair of virtual reality glasses, and you really step into another world.
With virtual reality you are in a self-contained experience. The folks at AARP, think VR can help keep our elderly loved ones safe. Spokesperson Andy Miller talking about seniors, “when they don't leave their house because they have a fear of something, that's a bad thing. social isolation has the same effect as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. AARP’s app is called Alcove.
For instance, you can connect with an elder parent who is living alone remotely via the virtual reality app. You can traverse a home with them, and each room has something to interact with.
You'll see as you go through there are different rooms in the home. each room has a different topic or theme. and look there those little avatars.
