"The OVR environment is an immersive, three dimensional, 6 DoF (Six Degrees of Freedom) environment in which the subject can freely move and interact with the virtual items presented therein (e.g. campfire, marshmallows, sticks/logs wood, flowers, citronella candles, bacon, tree bark, sodacola), with ambient scent of forest, as well as natural environment sounds such as leaves, etc., to recreate a reality-like environment," the study explains.
