-And everybody's running.
-Everyone's running?
-A hundred miles an hour.
-Stretching over more than
800 meters,
it is the largest covered
outdoor escalator system
in the world.
-You could look around and see
above, below you,
and you actually felt
like you were there.
-You're underwater with a diver.
-Time square.
-Sure.
-And remember to go
shopping this time.
-Now we're looking at
virtual reality
in a whole series
of age-related conditions.
So, when we think
about dementias
and we think about Alzheimer's
and we think about Parkinson's,
we think about
macular degeneration,
we do think that
VR can play a role
in helping some of
the side effects
of these unfortunate diseases.
-Can you see it?
-Yep.
Is it tight enough?
-Whichever way you look,
you're looking.
-At my age, it's such a new
thing I just can't comprehend,
particularly the young people
who are studying
what they have at their
fingertips that we didn't have.
-The Roman Forum used to be
the center
of everyday civic life in Rome.
-There were pictures I saw
in my Latin book,
and I couldn't believe I really
was seeing the pictures
I used to see
with my dad in a book,
and I actually was in
the middle of it all.
Aww!
Aww!
I think everybody here
will enjoy it
because it's just different,
you know?
Makes you feel like
you're traveling.
This is a generation
that grew up when all kinds
of things were invented,
while they were growing up --
television, vacuum cleaners,
dishwashers.
But if you think about most of
these devices,
they were installed
and plugged and play.
It's actually ironic
that older adults are the ones
who are waiting for technology
to catch up with them.
Only the younger generation
right now is willing
to read
a 60-page instruction manual
to figure out
how to use something.
-Might be one of those things
that I can go down and sit down
and plug it in
and go to Spain or New Mexico
or wherever you wanted to go
and see the scenery.
