VR Nature Therapy: Embodiment and Emotional Regulation through Immersive Virtual Environments
0 Views •
2026
Here, we present a protocol to investigate the effects of immersive 360-degree virtual reality nature exposures on mood and embodiment. Participants experience forest and marine environments in seated and standing postures, with assessments using standardized scales to evaluate therapeutic outcomes for mental health interventions.

Source: Alexander S Rattner and Sanjay Adhikari; Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Objects, vehicles, and organisms immersed in fluid mediums experience forces from the surrounding fluid in the form of buoyancy- a vertical upward force due to fluid weight, drag- a resistive force opposite the direction of motion, and lift- a force perpendicular to the direction of motion. Prediction and characterization of these forces is...

Classical fear conditioning paradigm was adapted for human participants in a fully immersive virtual reality setting. Using a discrimination paradigm, conditioned fear, cue and context memory retention, and extinction was measured with skin conductance response to dynamic virtual snakes and spiders (the conditioned stimuli) in two distinct virtual contexts.

Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Real-time tracking links a user’s movements to changes in the digital environment. Software can therefore adjust simulated experiences according to movement and response rather than presenting a fixed sequence. This responsiveness supports more individualized treatment, guided motor practice, and cognitive exercises, while giving engineers measurable requirements for sensor accuracy, interface design, and system reliability.
Different feedback channels help create controlled and responsive therapeutic experiences. Visual and auditory cues can guide attention, movement, or cognitive tasks, while haptic feedback can add a tactile component when supported by the system. Combining these inputs allows engineers to shape graded exercises and interactions that can be adjusted to the user’s activity and treatment goals.
Graded experiences allow treatment activities to be structured around progressive levels of challenge or exposure. In the overview, this approach supports exposure-based activities, guided motor practice, cognitive exercises, and pain-management tasks. Because the environment is controlled by software, researchers and clinicians can observe performance data while modifying the experience to support personalization and reproducibility.
A system typically combines an interactive digital environment, visual and auditory output, optional haptic feedback, real-time tracking, and software that responds to movement or other recorded responses. Engineering also addresses the interface, sensors, accessibility, and safety of the platform. Together, these components support assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and consistent delivery across clinical or research settings.
Immersive Therapy systems can collect measurable performance data while a person completes simulated activities. These measurements can help characterize responses during assessment, guided motor practice, or cognitive exercises and can support treatment personalization. The same data-oriented design also improves reproducibility, because researchers can use controlled digital environments to deliver comparable activities across sessions or settings.
The approach is relevant when researchers need controlled, interactive activities for assessment, treatment, or rehabilitation. Applications described in the overview include graded exposure, motor practice, cognitive exercises, and pain-management activities. Engineering makes these uses more practical by supporting responsive sensors, accessible interfaces, measurable outcomes, and remote delivery across clinical and research environments.
