Virtual Reality for body and mind
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen explains how two experiments involving virtual reality makes on International Space Station. The first is Virtual Assistance Mental Balance (VAMB) where Andreas gets to enjoy a calm setting in nature that helps him relax. The second one is VR for Exercise, where he cycles on the Space Station’s exercise bike and through different bike routes in Denmark on the VR headset, which has quickly become a favourite for Andreas.

@European Space Agency, ESA. We are happy to see that VR-biking in space also is a favorit activity as well as in hospitals and nursing homes. We provide the technology here on earth and will be very happy to continue sharing our VR videos for you guys.
Nature and birdsong in VR increase motivation for exercise and have a calming effect for both the elderly and people with disabilities, as well as for highly trained astronauts like Andreas Mogensen.
