360° Beach Video Shown To Significantly Reduce Stress
A study conducted at the Bundeswehr Hospital in Hamburg found that viewing a 360° nature video in a Virtual Reality (VR) headset has a relaxing effect on stressed individuals. The effect is significantly better than when the video is watched on a PC screen, showing that the use of 360° nature videos in VR is very effective in reducing stress and more so than watching a nature video on a regular screen.

Both groups felt less angry, tense, and depressed after meditation, but the virtual reality group felt significantly calmer and happier, while the audio group didn't.
