Resumen

El contacto visual con elementos naturales impacta positivamente la salud mental y el bienestar. Sin embargo, el crecimiento urbano ha reducido las áreas verdes, aumentando la desconexión con la naturaleza. Este estudio revisa los efectos de la exposición a entornos biofílicos en realidad virtual (RV) sobre indicadores fisiológicos y psicológicos. Los resultados mostraron que la inmersión en RV biofílica redujo la presión arterial, la frecuencia cardíaca y el cortisol, además de aumentar la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca y la relajación. La biofilia en RV es una herramienta clave para la restauración de la salud, especialmente donde la naturaleza es limitada.
