The Index thread (please keep to subject)

So I got a few months ago the Valve Index headset, and I love it.

Later I decided to show the VR headset to my mother, she is in the 60th and never heard about VR before, she also doesn’t own a computer sho she’s kind of a "technophobe", often telling me that she is too old for the technical stuff.

So I launched steam VR to show her the Steam VR room, when she put on the VR headset the first thing she asked me was "Is this a real house ?" (quite interresting to see that older people have more troubles to make the difference between CGI and IRL), I kept telling her that it's not a real house and she couldn't believe it.

She absolutely loved it, walking around the room, seeing eagles flying or butterflies landing on her hands, she standed in this room for like 20 minutes, and kept telling me that she felt like in hollidays. I was fascinated about the SteamVR room but for my mom the first experience was on a whole new level.

Later I downloaded Mars 

(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928142301), and showed her the sceneries, and here it was the same story, she standed here for 20 minutes.

Now once per week my mom asks me if she can go on Mars again, or on the Moon (but that map doesn’t exist yet) and when she meets some of her friends or familly members, she tells them about the VR experience, and how she loves it.

Anyways, I just wanted to thank Valve for the VR headset, and for the awesome SteamVR room and other sceneries, my mom loves it.
