Abstract
Development of virtual reality devices cannot consider effects of exercise experiences by virtual environments. In this paper, we compared exercise experience by 3 environments (Indoor, Virtual urban, Virtual nature), focusing on restorative effects. We conducted the experiment that rode a bicycle while watching 360 degrees video in each environment. And then, participants conducted the survey about calmness and measured their inter-beat interval from heart-rate. The result showed that calmness is high in virtual nature environments and correlates with inter-beat interval. Our results demonstrate that restorative effects with exercise experiences can be appeared through embodiment with virtual nature. This paper suggests the importance of considering virtual environments and a possibility of application of natural environments to mixed or augmented reality.
