Traipsing through Street view in VR is even more surreal.<p>I got my grandma to try it on Oculus and she couldn&#x27;t get enough. At one point she asked if she could call up my aunt to come at the door when I showed her my aunt&#x27;s house on the other side of the world :).<p>I had been getting antsy due to this lockdown, but this made me appreciate my grandma&#x27;s patience and fortitude even more for being practically locked down for over 10 years. I&#x27;m glad I could help her experience cities from all around the world at this age<p>Oculus TV&#x2F;YouTube also have a series of immersive VR travelogues, some even in 3D which are even more unreal. There&#x27;s definitely a lot more reasons to try out VR than gaming, if you haven&#x27;t already. Especially if you&#x27;re somewhere you won&#x27;t be able to realistically step out any time soon

Perhaps adding real-life destinations in the video games would make this trips more fun. Like Red Dead Redemption&#x2F;GTA with more real places.
