Taking a breather on a bench in the woods as a (dementing) resident of a care home? Virtual Nature makes it possible. The users’ shadows are integrated in a virtual natural environment. Birds, leaves and sounds of nature complete the authentic experience. Virtual Nature reinforces the perception and stimulates the mental health of the person sitting on the bench.
