A Long Island veterans home is using state-of-the-art virtual reality to help its residents fight PTSD with amazing simulated tours of outer space, animal sanctuaries and the northern lights. Residents at the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University can have virtual experiences diving with sharks, catching butterflies, shooting archery arrows, racing NASCAR vehicles and watching Broadway shows or an Ole Miss college football game, too. The veterans also can touchingly even “return” to countries where they fought, such as Vietnam, to see the land now.
