Using a mixed‐method approach, (n = 63) engaged with videos, states connectedness before after experience. Results showed high levels reporting feelings calmness, escape nature. Positive affect increased post‐VR, although remained unchanged. Nature improved across all participants, highlighting experiences support well‐being. Individual differences, such prior experience gender, influenced perceptions, emphasising need tailor interventions. provides foundation for using promote well‐being, particularly those limited access environments.

Research has demonstrated the positive effect of natural environment on human restoration and well-being. Time spent in nature can often alleviate both physiological psychological stress. However, few studies have discussed environmental health effects nature's components characteristics. Sixty volunteers were recruited one manufactured five different environments randomly assigned to them, including coniferous forests (pure forest-PC mixed forest-MC), broad-leaved forest-PB forest-MB), forest (mixed forest-MCB). Each volunteer sat a built or looked around for 15 min. Physiological (HR, HRV, BP, pulse rate salivary cortisol) indicators (POMS STAI) used evaluate changes their stress level. Results indicated strong difference HR, POMS STAI between environment, which showed that lower MC had best relieving stress, whereas MCB is most successful improving emotional state reducing anxiety. Broad-leaved significantly affected DBP vigor level subjects, respectively. While did increase concentration cortisol subjects. The study confirmed compared relieve body's physical negative emotions, while increasing vitality.

This literature review aimed expand prior reviews of virtual experiences on psychological physiological well-being in two ways: summarizing how four factors may moderate the beneficial effects reporting risk bias this body literature. Searches peer-reviewed articles were conducted Web Science Scopus manually identified, returning 78 relevant empirical studies published between 2010 2023. The assessment was utilizing Cochrane's RoB 2 ROBINS-I tools. moderators examined duration exposure (i.e., ≤5 min, 5–10 ≥10 min), type green space, blue space), sample characteristics age, health status), immersion level reality [VR], 2D screens). We found limited evidence impact first three but stronger higher levels showing benefits. All have high bias, mostly related subjective measurement outcomes. Future should prioritize studying tailored interventions their long-term among diverse participants different types environments, well investigating influence presence settings. These efforts will provide further insights into underlying mechanisms benefits derived from exposure.
