A new European project for our lab entitled “Restorative Effects of Haptic and Visual Sensory Supplementation of Nature Sounds in VR of Nature for Deaf people”, with the acronym ReSens-Nature, begun in September 2024. The ReSens-Nature project aims to investigate the impact of nature sounds within Virtual Environments on people with hearing impairments in a very innovative way.
