VR Intervention

For the VR Intervention a VR head-mounted display, the Pico G2 4K, will be used. This intervention involves wearing VR glasses and experiencing non-interactive videos with sound through a headset. The footage consists of different immersive 360-degree scenarios from natural environments (e.g., forest), while corresponding sounds, meditation or classical music harmoniously tuned to these scenarios and are played through noise-cancelling headphones.
