The app uses calm and serene natural environments to give users the opportunity to relax, restore focus and increase mental clarity. By offering these virtual nature experiences, we aim to create an effective way to reduce stress and improve overall mental health.

According to Attention Restoration Theory (ART), exposure to natural environments has a restorative effect on our attention and mental fatigue. Nature attracts interest and attention in a voluntary way and thus functions as a restorative experience. The requirement for focused attention in natural environments is minimal, allowing the mechanisms for focused attention to recharge.

VRelax is developing new animated virtual environments under the name Avonturen Wereld . In December 2024, the first environment, Droomwereld , will be released as a Beta version in the VRelax app. Avonturen Wereld offers positive distraction and relaxation through interactive elements and therapeutic music.

The development of the Adventure World is done in collaboration with organizations, where children are also given the opportunity to think along. In this way we ensure that the virtual environments meet the needs of this target group as well as possible.

For VRelax customers, there is a content map available, which can be used to easily make choices together with a VRelax user about what can be watched. Here, a clear distinction is made between the different types of environments.

This content card can be requested from the Customer Success team members or via support@vrelax.com.

All VRelax virtual environments are recorded by the VRelax Content Team in 360° at 8K resolution or higher, to ensure the best possible quality within the current state of VR technology.

The resolution of VR headsets can be lower than that of modern monitors, which can result in less detailed images. In addition, VR headsets use lenses to project the image to your eyes. These lenses can cause distortion, making the image appear less sharp, especially at the edges of the field of view.

Developments in the field of Virtual Reality are moving at a rapid pace, and VRelax is at the forefront of applying the latest techniques. As the hardware improves, so will the VRelax app and your experience!

VR creates a fully immersive environment through 360-degree vision and spatial audio, giving users the feeling of actually being in the virtual space. This increases the involvement and intensity of the experience. VR allows users to interact with the environment by moving, looking and acting. This promotes an active rather than passive experience, engaging senses and cognitive processes in a more integrated way.

Nausea while using VR, also called “cybersickness,” is a rare occurrence. This can be caused by a mismatch between movement and perception, such as when you sit still while moving in VR, which can lead to motion sickness. In addition, a lack of visual reference points in the VR environment can disrupt your sense of balance and also cause nausea.

The following tips can help prevent cybersickness:

• Healthcare make sure your VR headset is properly adjusted. With the Pico G3 glasses, you can adjust the lenses by pushing them in or out. In addition, tightening the glasses and finding a good position can help.
• Start with short VR sessions and gradually increase the duration.
• In VR, try to sit still as much as possible, especially during the first few sessions.
• Choose VR experiences that involve less rapid movement and few height differences.

If nausea persists, it may be helpful to take breaks or experiment with other types of VR content that require less movement.
