Abstract

Looking at artworks, experiencing nature, and being in vir- tual reality (VR) environments can relax people. We tested if the relax- ation from viewing art and nature images with music for ten minutes while sitting in a recliner chair in a VR setup is different from experi- encing the same content on a TV screen. Participants experienced this relaxation intervention after having finished a Montreal Imaging Stress Test. All tested conditions relaxed people but we found no significant differences between them from neither subjective nor objective measures in a between subjects study. However, trends in subjective and HRV measures pointed towards VR being more relaxing than TV.
