Joy Golliver recently visited the Washington
state community where she and her late
husband lived for more than 20 years. And her
sons, who live in Seattle, texted their 84-year-
old mother asking how she was able to travel
from Tucson, Arizona, to Kachess Lake without
them knowing.
Thanks to virtual reality, Golliver actually never
left Tucson. “This technology can take us to any
memory in our life that we want to visit,” she said.
Golliver lives at the Fountains, one of two
Tucson retirement communities serving as
the launching pad for a program to see
