My wife and I used to take care of her grandmother. I had a simple VR headset and I would show her parts of cities she hadn't been to in street view.

Nostalgia is an incredibly powerful thing. Especially when it comes to elderly and/or people with dementia.

I’ve done a fair few VR demonstrations with my Quest headsets. Google Streetview-like apps are always a big hit with everyone. It’s a great way to revisit places from the past with a good sense of presence. And of course to see a place you’ve always wanted to go.
