Why are our experiences audio-only?
It's a bit of a brain/nature/sciency magicalness
sort of thing...
Video imagery introduces unhelpful stimulation that undermines the state of calm required for your brain to achieve meaningful relaxation and focus.
Adding beautiful nature scenes seems lovely, but it's counterproductive. In its most basic terms, video imagery dilutes and guides your perception in unnatural ways. Visual imagery triggers stress responses that can significantly inhibit your ability to achieve the meaningful state of relaxation required for stress inhibition, and relaxation. In fact, the introduction of visual imagery inhibits wellness benefits of natural environments by as much as 97% when you are not in live nature. This is one of the primary reasons our experiences are almost exclusively audio-centered.
Thanks to our world-class lifelike production systems, Life Environments audio experiences are created to be perceived as something “real” to your brain unlike video-centric videos, which are perceived as “filmed," and inauthentic by your brain. Your brain knows the difference.
So, there you have it in a nutshell. Now you know one of the many reasons Life Environments immersive nature experiences are produced in audio-only formats.
