About Immersive Environments

A well-chosen visual environment takes the mental effort out of staying calm or staying focused, it does some of the work for you. Nature scenes especially are associated with lower cortisol and faster recovery from mental fatigue, even through a screen. This page puts a full-viewport, seamlessly looping scene behind whatever you're doing, paired with a soundscape curated to match.

What you'll get out of it

Somewhere else, without leaving your desk

A full-screen view fills your whole field of vision, closer to actually being there than a small video in the corner of a page.

Picture and sound, matched on purpose

Every scene comes with sound chosen to fit it, a forest with birds and wind, not birdsong over an ocean view. Tap the speaker and let them work together.

Not feeling this one? Move on

If a scene isn't landing, skip to the next, or cycle through a few different angles of the one you're already on.

Useful as well as calming

Drop a clock onto the screen if you're leaving this running as a desk display, glance up and it's doing double duty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the video silent? +
The video track is muted on purpose, all of the sound comes from the curated audio mix that ships with each scene instead. This also sidesteps browser autoplay restrictions on video-with-sound.
Does this use a lot of mobile data? +
Videos are compressed short loops rather than long streams, but they're still video. If you're on a limited connection, the Sound Mix alone (with video paused elsewhere) uses far less data.
Why do some scenes have a recycle icon and others don't? +
It only appears when a scene has more than one video variant. Tap it to cycle to the next angle of the same scene without leaving it entirely.
I switched scenes and the speaker turned blue, what does that mean? +
That's the staleness indicator, it means sound is playing but from a mix loaded on a different page, not this scene's own. Tap the speaker again to load this scene's curated mix in its place.
Can I upload my own video? +
Not currently. Scenes are drawn from a curated, pre-encoded library chosen for clean seamless loops.
