Virtual reality helps Japan's elderly travel the world cnn.com

It's all thanks to virtual reality, as well as a team at the University of Tokyo led by Kenta Toshima.
A class at the University of Tokyo gives seniors a chance to both watch and create VR travel videos.
Our classmates ranged from 53 to 90 years old and had been learning about VR technology for about a year.
According to Hiyama and Toshima, the VR travel project works in conjunction with physical rehabilitation in nursing care facilities.
They are hoping these virtual reality vacations can help the elderly patients with matters of the body -- and the mind.
