GENERAL INTERVENTION GUIDE USING VR-GLASSES 
(For end user and/or staff or relative aiding end user)

1. Chose a calm room and a comfortable chair. If you have to use a bed, keep the back as upright as possible.
2. Try on the glasses, fit them on the head and try out the functionality and app (see manuals below for instructions)
3. (The first time using the glasses:
   • Try an environment, try to look around and how to explore, look close and far away.
   • Observe the sound, Note! don´t adjust as default but if you have a bad hearing and have to adjust see further instructions (coming up).
   • Think about (inform the user) what to do if you start feeling bad or impatient during the intervention: Take a couple of mindful calming breaths and try to remain in the environment before giving up. It is also possible to stand up on the spot and gently move the body.)
4. Choose which VR-environment to watch (look at a printed paper with thumbnails of the environments or directly in the glasses)
5. Fill in a diary/paper form or online form (Client code, glasses code, mood survey or strees-energy survey etc) (if needed with help)
6. Prepare for the intervention by calming down and sit down (lay down) and breath calmly for a couple of minutes.
7. Start the intervention - sit in the same environment (?) for 15-30 min (different time in different client groups) - (Note! set an alarm for the preferred time, the films are looped)
8. Take off the glasses
9. Fill in a diary/paper form or online form (Client code, glasses code, mood survey or strees-energy survey etc) (if needed with help)

THE NATUREACH VR-GLASS APP (VIDEO PLAYER)

 A specially designed VR-glass app is developed in the project. Updated versions of the app is distributed together with the environment editions The app is designed so that the the hand controls are not required for navigation, you just look at the "thumbnail" picture for each environment and you go there directly. When you want to stop beeing in the environment you just look down.

CONTACT PERSONS FOR VR-GLASSES

The app and the films will be loaded to the glasses by the  contact persons for each client group, with help from the coordinators  See more info here, for project members)
