| contents | Extensive research has confirmed the positive relationship between exposure to natural environments and human cognitive, behavioral, physical, and mental health. However, only some have easy access to nature. With electronic information and simulation technology advancements, digital nature experiences are widely used across various devices and scenarios. It is essential to explore how to effectively select and utilize natural elements to guide the design of digital nature scenes. This paper examines critical elements in immersive virtual nature (IVN) and their impact on user perception. Through online surveys and design experiments, we identified specific natural elements that promote relaxation and proposed design strategies for virtual environments. We developed several immersive virtual nature scenes for further validation. Finally, we outline our future experimental plans and research directions in digital nature. Our research aims to provide HCI designers insights into creating restorative, immersive virtual scenes. |
