This project will provide opportunities for seniors to virtually leave the four walls of their community to check off bucket list items and engage with the world in ways they never thought were possible again. Running from a tablet onto paired headsets this will require virtually no training on the part of caregivers. #warholgrantee #wavemakergrants #warholfoundation #ooliteartscreatoraward #theelliesaward #locustprojects #MFC #miamifilmmakerscollective #VR #virtualreality #seniors #community #isolation #pandemic #artprojects
