Imagine that gramma wants to cook with the grandkids, why couldn’t she make the same recipe at the same time as the grandkids with a little help from parents for preparation etc? Also, with multiple devices, virtual tours could be done for museums, etc. when browsing together it’s easy to imagine how a grandparent can walk a kid through memories and more.
