Virtual reality experience for 10 minutes
Each 10-minute VR session will be self-administered (by each participant) using the Facebook (Facebook Inc., Menlo Park, CA) Meta Quest 2 VR and Touch controllers. This equipment was selected because it is portable, has built in audio, and has clear graphics at a lower price than VR setups that require a computer to generate graphics. The headset has an optional eyeglass spacer to allow participants to wear corrective eyeglasses during the VR session if appropriate. The hand controllers facilitate immersive, interactive VR experiences. The VR software, Nature Treks VR application (https://naturetreksvr.com) that features ten non-violent, nature-based experiences in peaceful environments (e.g. forest, river, beach, etc.) that can be played in a seated or fixed position.
