Roberta Furstenberg was affected by cancer and was informed that the remaining life is only a few months. Since then, my condition has weakened because of my illness, and gradually I can not step out of my room. This episode starts from "I want to go out once more and I want to walk in my garden" and talked to my granddaughter Priscilla.


The situation when Roberta actually wearing Oculus Rift can be seen in the movie published below.

Grandmother Uses Oculus Rift as Therapy - YouTube


Mr. Priscilla of Roberta's granddaughter shot the movie. One day, my grandmother Roberta was affected by cancer, and I learned that my physical strength to go outside was not left.


It is Mr. Roberta who at least talked about hoping to walk in his garden, but it seems that his physical strength has not been left. So, Mr. Priscilla contacted the development team of Oculus Rift and decided to ask for help to make my grandmother's wish.


And later, one Oculus Rift was delivered to Mr. Priscilla.


This is the state of Mr. Roberta before mounting Oculus Rift. I am sitting on the sofa, but my physical strength has weakened and I heard that one step could not go out.


Roberta who wears Oculus Rift and moves around in the virtual world. It seems that the controller for the game is grasped in the hand, and the stick is used to manipulate the movement of the front, rear, left and right.


Mr. Roberta who unexpectedly arrives. My favorite butterfly flew in the screen, so I was putting my hands in mind as I thought.


"It was as if I was really in the world. Everything was beautiful, colorful, in a sense that it really was there. The stairs came out on the way but I went up that stairway If it is true, I can not go up the stairs, but I went up the stairs like if I were flying, "said Roberta who shines his eyes. When a butterfly appears in front of you, I will tell you that "I want to kiss a butterfly."


When Roberta was still in good health, when he was doing gardening in the garden, he told Priscilla that there was a strange car with a camera mounted on the car body passed by the house. Priscilla intuitively realized that it is a street view car that shoots Google Street View. As a result of checking, I found that there is a page with Roberta who has gardening tools and a page showing the appearance of a pet dog "spec".

Telling that to Roberta and asking for it at Oculus Rift, Mr. Roberta said that he was extremely pleased. However, the facial expressions will soon become cloudy. My memory and my beloved dogs "specs" are still watching my memory, and it seems that my tears have run away. For Roberta, it was an event that taught us that Oculus Rift had the power to evoke real and dense memories.


"It was a very valuable time for me who knows what is affected by cancer and for my family and I can touch on my past experiences and memories once again as if it were a new level of therapy "It was Roberta. I regret to have become a person who will not return after this.


It is an immersive head-up display, which often uses usage in the field of games, but it is such an episode that will teach us that it will also help to make a more personal experience.
