Summary

This study looked at whether a short, 20-minute virtual reality nature experience can help improve attention, mood, and thinking skills in healthy older adults aged 65 and up. 120 participants were randomly assigned to either a virtual nature scene, a real nature walk, or an urban walk. The goal was to see if the virtual nature could provide similar benefits to being outdoors.
