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.
