One grandmother got the coolest gift on Christmas day when her family introduced her to virtual reality. YouTube user Mark Nutt posted a video of his 88-year-old grandmother, Marie, experiencing a roller coaster simulation via a Google Cardboard headset. You really can’t help but smile while watching this.

“Oh my goodness! Don’t go, Denise!” Grandma is clutching Denise’s hand for dear life. I’ve never even heard of Google Cardboard, but her reaction is convincing me it’s probably worth a try.
