Following on from Oculus’ successful Kickstarter projector for the Rift virtual reality headset in September 2012, a 90-year-old has taken it for a test-drive. And her review: “Holy mackerel, this is unbelievable!”
YouTube user Paul Rivot equipped his grandmother with the Oculus Rift Tuscany demo and turned on a camera to record the results (“I’m taking a video, this is going on YouTube”). It looks like she was blown away, with comments such as “Oh man, this is something else, am I still sitting where I was?” and “I’m amazed, I don’t believe I’m seeing this, heavens”.
Most of us take modern technology for granted nowadays, so to see someone react with this much genuine excitement is really heart-warming. It kind of reminds me of the first time we turned on my dad’s Commodore 64… good times.
