The Wow Moment
An elderly grandmother with limited mobility puts on her VR headset and suddenly she's standing in her grandson's graduation ceremony 2,000 miles away. She can turn her head, look around, even move through the crowd to stand next to her family. She waves and they see her on a screen, waving back in real-time. She's really there.
