“…A key suggestion for future research made by Knaust et al [ 53 ] is to explore psychophysiological responses using electroencephalography (EEG), given the limited evidence available in relation to physiological outcomes. EEG has been used in combination with VR in several contexts, e.g., in relation to neurorehabilitation [ 54 , 55 ] and mindfulness training [ 56 , 57 ]; however, its use with virtual restorative environments is limited. Several studies have measured physiological and psychological well-being [ 52 , 53 ].…”

Improving the mental health of urban residents is a global public health priority. This study builds on existing work that demonstrates the ability of virtual exposure to restorative environments to improve population mental health. It compares the restorative effects of green, blue and historic environments delivered by both flat screen and immersive virtual reality technology, and triangulates data from psychological, physiological and qualitative sources. Results from the subjective measure analyses showed that exposures to all the experimental videos were associated with self-reported reduced anxiety and improved mood, although the historic environment was associated with a smaller reduction of anxiety (p < 0.01). These results were supported by the qualitative accounts. For two of the electroencephalography (EEG) frequency bands, higher levels of activity were observed for historic environments. In relation to the mode of delivery, the subjective measures did not suggest any effect, while for the EEG analyses there was evidence of a significant effect of technology across three out of four frequency bands. In conclusion, this study adds to the evidence that the benefits of restorative environments can be delivered through virtual exposure and suggests that virtual reality may provide greater levels of immersion than flat screen viewing.

“…However, only two bibliographic databases, MEDLINE and Embase, were searched, only studies using validated outcomes measures were included, and single case studies were excluded, meaning some pertinent literature may have been missed. Another recent narrative review of VR-based mindfulness interventions found that the immersive and multisensory environment created by VR had potential features that could support mindfulness practice ( Arpaia et al, 2021 ). Nonetheless, the review looked broadly at a range of clinical applications including pain, stress, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.…”

“…Finally, from an interaction point of view, it is necessary to ensure the real-time feedback of the VR system. Because of the real-time feedback of human sensations, such as mind rotation and gestures, the user can naturally converse with the environment within the system and with other users [14].…”

Since China is not a native English-speaking country, Chinese English learners generally have poor English application ability. Therefore, this paper aims to study the combination of virtual reality and English learning to create an immersive English learning system, which provides new solutions for students’ daily English to relieve from foreign language anxiety and improve their English application ability. This paper proposes that starting from the research needs, this research has developed a VR English learning system for scene-based teaching. This system can bring visual, auditory, and tactile multisensing experiences to daily English users’ learning. The user is fully immersed in the virtual scene, and the feasibility of the system is increased by data demonstration through actual teaching experiments. The experimental results of this paper show that 90% of the learners are satisfied with the learning effect in the virtual simulation learning situation, and more than 80% of the learners believe that using the avatar learning method to learn English in the virtual simulation learning situation improves the ability of all aspects and the relationship between teachers and students. In addition, 85% of the learners believe that they can improve their interest in daily English learning in the virtual simulation learning situation. Therefore, the feasibility of the system is high.
