Research

Our research has shown that Virry VR can improve the quality of life of people with dementia, influencing their mood, arousing interest in the new, re-orientating their entire cognitive system with knowledge, whilst also having an immediate positive impact on an individual’s wellbeing, setting a positive emotional scene that enables a different attitude to life.

We also conducted a study of the effectiveness of Virry technology for a short conscious break in the headquarters of HeadHunter Group, which measured heart rate variability to demonstrate a significant increase in the activation of the parasympathetic link of the autonomic nervous system.

In previous studies of the effectiveness of a conscious break for staff using Virry VR technology in a top senior care home, the head office of a leading bank and an IT company, data was obtained on the positive impact of the technology on the psycho-emotional state of employees, which showed increasing performance associated with mood and state of mind, as well as a decrease in the level of depression and the coefficient of emotional burnout.

Virry VR is specifically designed to be easily and intuitively used by all ages

A recent study conducted by UCL Institute of Education at a London primary school found that nature stimulations and mindfulness sessions using Virry VR were effective in improving emotional regulation.

 Virry VR as an intervention tool for children with complex emotional and behavioural needs enabled participants to fully immerse themselves in nature and interact with animals in their natural habitat without physically leaving the room, which helped with their emotional self-awareness and targeted emotion management. The study found that participants were able to express themselves more freely and engage in more reflective thinking. A few of the participants appeared to better manage some emotions over some others post-intervention. It was noted that the VR intevention tool was easy to set up, allowing the participants to use them independently.

Stress and
the immune system

Modern medical practice has come to understand the closely linked relationship between the mind and body, with emotional stress and depression now known to be a connecting factor in a wide range of maladies.

When stressed the mind suppresses the immune system, increasing susceptibility to flu viruses and other illnesses.

Whilst we can’t avoid all sources of stress in our day to day lives, we can use relaxation techniques, such as meditation and breath control exercises, to help control our stress levels which in turn helps our immune system.

Virry VR uses nature therapy and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and anxiety. We encourage users to take a daily break and focus on their mental and physical wellbeing in a way that is enjoyable and easily accessible.

Mood tracker

Virry VR has an inbuilt mood tracker which you are asked to answer at the beginning and end of your session.

This data is accumulated so that you are able to see your emotional states over a period of time.

Regularly tracking your mood will bring a new habit of emotional self-assessment and helps with self-regulation. The better feelings are understood, the easier it is to reflect on them and regulate them.

Data from the mood tracker is saved on your headset and not collected or shared anywhere else. Please see our privacy policy for further details.

Testimonials:

Prof. Jeremy Bailenson
Stanford VR Lab
I have seen thousands of spherical videos, and the footage from Virry VR is the most stunning nature scenes I have ever seen in any medium. Seeing a big Rhino, in its natural home, from the perspective of a mud puddle inches away, or having a Lion literally lick my face to test if I am edible, was among the coolest things I have done in VR to date. I predict this project will be a huge success in motivating people to learn more about nature and ecosystems.
Alexei Sidnev
CEO of Senior Group
We face the problem of burn-out with our carers every day and have tried different technologies to help them recover. So far it seems that Virry.Life is the most efficient solution. I can see our employees enjoying the VR experiences and becoming calmer and relaxed. The Virry effect is even more amazing with our patients, especially those with dementia. Putting on the VR-glasses they suddenly turn into children and look so happy! They really enjoy the experience and react very vividly.

One of the employees (my assistant) came in well-rested, and started sharing that she’d been watching animals. Frankly, I only remembered the one thing that mattered to me: "My blood pressure went down." I was skeptical about it, but then several more people came and also claimed that their blood pressure had gone down. My life is very hectic, so my blood pressure jumps all over the place. That same day, I had high blood pressure all because of stress at work. Naturally, I decided to test this pressure-lowering effect on myself, and to my amazement, it worked! We checked my blood pressure before and after, and the effect was obvious — I could even feel it. Of course, you can’t help but see the effect of stress relief and mood improvement, not only with me but everyone.
