Virtual Reality. Oculus Rift & Touch ®. Typically, we go into a senior care facility and utilize Oculus Rift® & Oculus Touch ® which allows the user to interact with the gaming system through simple movements and gestures.  Now with the Virtual Reality we are more focused on senior that are more disabled & in wheel chairs. We have noticed that senior citizens respond well to the activity—enjoying participating or, in some cases, enjoy watching their fellow residents participate. As well as mental & physical benefits, we have noticed a correlation with individuals suffering from memory loss as they are able to retain these new techniques on a weekly basis.  We see a huge moral benefit for the teens facilitating the activities as well as they gain an appreciation for their elders—a value that has somewhat diminished in today’s generations. allowing them to experience a degree of virtual reality.
