Lonely Elders is a VR program that uses technology as a bridge, not a barrier, to reveal and address loneliness among older adults. Inspired by real stories from my community, it immerses users in seniors’ daily lives, with everyday objects serving as story portals of love, loss, joy, and regret. By fostering empathy and intergenerational understanding, it invites younger generations to reflect on their relationships with elders and our shared social responsibility—showing how VR can be a powerful tool for social connection and awareness.
