What is special about VR technology?

The 360° ​​VR environment enables a much better immersion than, for example, smartphone relaxation apps, which can still be distracting because of the external environment. In VR, however, you are completely away from the external, shielded from the outside world.

In virtual reality, you don’t just “see” a film about dolphins, you are right in the middle of it and swim with dolphins. You don’t only watch a film about the sea, you are on the “dream beach” and the sea is within your grasp. The same applies to any other VR world: the feeling of “presence” arises – you actually believe that you are “on site”. This makes it much easier for the human brain to “let go” and relax much deeper and faster. The high resolution and stereoscopy (3D) help here to make the VR worlds appear even more realistic to the brain.

 

How do VR glasses differ from smartphone relaxation apps?

In virtual reality, the presence effect is many times higher. This means that you no longer watch a film, but you are part of the film or experience. This enables a much faster and more lasting relaxation and stress reduction.

What is clean content?

By clean content, we mean violence and horror-free content that will liberate your mind. It relieves tension and reduces stress so that you can absorb new mental energy. Magic Horizons 360° videos and interactive VR applications aim to facilitate calming, stress reduction and wellness for the soul.

Guided meditation, sleep enhancing and breathing exercises, atmospheric natural settings, natural sounds and relaxing music reduce stress and trigger positive emotions. Allowing your soul to relax.
