Review: While VR does indeed have a good habit of tricking the brain into believing you are in a situation or environment you are not, a really natural one is something that should remain in the real world (for now anyway). That is not me picking holes in the app because it really is fantastic with so many stunning environments and things to look at and listen too. It’s my own knowledge of the benefits of being in a real natural environment. But for someone who can’t get out of the house for a variety of reasons, this could well be a real benefit to them. Nature Treks VR could calm the sole of the Hulk and offers a place to get away from it all. While not as good as a real-world trek, it’s still pretty impressive and probably the best relaxation app you will ever see (so far anyway).
