Description:

In the research, Samsung Gear VR SM-R323 brand and model SG glasses provided by the researcher were used. Patients were offered four different options to watch as "Forest of Serenity", "Calm Place", "Happy Place", "Gala 360 Travel \& Relax". Forest of Serenity is a nature video consisting of bird sounds, colorful trees and flowers, and a clear lake where fish can be seen swimming in it. Calm Place is a relaxing video where cycles are shown 24 hours a day, where a person finds himself by the lake in the forest in snowy, rainy sunny weather. In Happy Place, one finds himself in a virtual camp environment where natural events such as dynamically changing weather, day-night cycles, and falling stars are experienced. Gala 360 Travel \& Relax is a Paris-Notre Dame museum tour video.
