A disabled 80-year-old gran has converted her living room into a Star Trek-style 'holodeck' to travel the world - using a state-of-the-art virtual reality headset. <br /><br />Dorothy Howard spent £400 on an Oculus Rift kit after she was forced to pull out of her annual coach holiday to a knitting convention. <br /><br />Mrs Howard, who suffers from spinal problems and arthritis, now uses the virtual reality kit to travel the globe. <br /><br />Since she bought it three months ago she has visited the pyramids in Egypt, scuba-dived with whales and even blasted into space.
