A World War II Veteran uses Google Cardboard |
We are losing our World War II Veterans at a rate of 500 a day nationwide. Sadly, most of these 80 and 90-year-old men and women will never get the chance to see their memorial. But what if there were a way to magically transport them to the places they're not able to visit? New Virtual Reality head mounted displays are enabling a 360 degree, 3D magic carpet to places not previously imagined.
My Grandpa was a Staff Sgt during World War II. He died before he got the chance to see
his memorial in Washington, DC. While it's too late for him to see the World War II memorial, it's not too late for the thousands of Veterans in assisted living centers and Veterans homes who don't have the physical strength for air travel on an Honor Flight to the nation's capital.
We are looking for people willing to host viewings in their cities and tech Guardians willing to assist the Veterans with their VR "goggles". The VR experiences of Central Missouri Honor Flight are free thanks to production services from Jaunt Studios, equipment from Google and Veterans United Foundation and supportive services from Ghost MachineVR. If you know a Veteran not able to physically travel, please email honoreverywhere360@gmail.com or visit HonorEverywhere360.com .

HonorEverywhere360.com is a portable, Virtual Reality experience that can be viewed from a Veteran's bedside or assisted-living center. Using camera and video production technology from Jaunt Studios and a viewing device called Google Cardboard, Veterans are able to experience their memorial as if they were actually there. Stereoscopic, 360 degree, 3D video allows the Veterans to look left, right, up and down.
