Description
As we prepare for prolonged missions in low Earth orbit and on the lunar surface, maintaining astronaut psychological wellbeing is a mission-critical priority. Grounded in evidence that natural environments reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, this research evaluates a multisensory VR experience delivered via a Nokia RXRM 5G satellite-enabled pipeline. Utilising 360° nature scenes, spatial audio and synchronised scent, the study assesses both system reliability and user stress reduction within a simulated confinement environment. These findings will validate real-time restorative interventions for space exploration while informing the design of immersive therapies for isolated patients in terrestrial healthcare settings.
