Biophilia Hypothesis
Humans have a strong connection and passion for nature, and it has a strong effect on one’s overall productivity and mental state. <Learn more>
“Awe” is that unexplainable feeling that sweeps over you when you sense you are in the presence of beauty and majesty. There is no better word than “awe” to explain the experience of “atmosphere” videos.
Humans have been “awed” by nature since the beginning of time. Throughout literature, art, and music, our reverence for the natural world comes through. Especially in times of upheaval and uncertainty, nature seems constant.
In my career as a physician, I have grown to firmly believe in the importance of all types of healing — physical, psychological, and spiritual. I have studied and spoken about the many studies that support nature's powerful healing effects, what the Japanese call, “Forest Bathing.” I have published research on the beneficial effect of nature through virtual reality. I have seen many attempts to bring nature inside or to transport the viewer outside.
There is no product available more effective at immersing a viewer in nature than “atmosphere” videos. Captured with state-of-the-art equipment and presented in a relaxing manner, every scene is stunning — each worthy of “awe.”

The Science behind atmosphere-Healthcare
atmosphere relaxation solutions are based on two scientifically proven de-stress approaches:
-
Biophilia using the power and beauty of nature for relaxation
-
Mindfulness relaxation and meditation “journeys”.
The Science of Biophilia
Biophilia - “Love of Life” - describes the affiliation humans have with other life forms and the strong genetic connection with nature. The atmosphere video content employs the power of nature to bring relaxation and well-being to its viewers, following a unique content philosophy focussed on the appreciation of beauty and stillness, combined with cutting edge audio-visual technology. We call this Biophilic Vision©.

Testimonial from Becky Massey – VCU Massey Cancer Center
As a cancer survivor, I know firsthand the importance of finding moments of peace and healing during treatment. That’s why I am incredibly proud to have been a volunteer and team member in bringing the Atmosphere Immersive Films experience to our fabulous Healing Space in the Adult Outpatient Pavilion on the VCU Health campus.
For over a year now, patients, their loved ones, and our caregivers have all expressed how transformative this experience has been. The immersive nature films provided by Atmosphere by MacMan create an unparalleled sense of peace and relaxation, offering a moment of serenity amid the challenges of treatment and recovery.
Our oncology patients, along with additional patients being served in the 17-story tower, are finding tranquility in the room. Every time I step into the Healing Space, I feel transported to a place of calm, free from the anxiety and stress that often accompany a cancer journey. Caregivers have also shared how spending just a few moments in the Healing Space helps them reset and recharge, allowing them to provide even better care.
From the very beginning, Michael Ohren was onsite for the initial installation, ensuring everything was set up to provide the best experience possible. His dedication and ongoing support have been invaluable, ensuring that our Healing Space continues to deliver the tranquility and comfort our patients and caregivers need.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible addition to our center. Atmosphere Immersive Films have become an essential part of our commitment to holistic healing, and I highly recommend them to any healthcare facility looking to enhance the patient experience.

Houston Dental Clinic
Tomah, WI
“I absolutely love having atmosphere at our office! It is so peaceful and calming. We run a dental office and having this in our waiting room is very comforting for our patients and puts people at ease before dental procedures. I have had so many patients tell me they love to just zone out and watch the beautiful scenery. At the end of a long day, before I turn it off, I find myself sitting down for 2-3 mins watching the scenery to ground myself before going home to my family. 15 out of 10 would recommend!” - Dr. Houston DDS
It really works.
Patient testimonial..
“I recently had an overnight stay in a hospital that was equipped with atmosphere. They had the lights dimmed and this already on the TV when I got to my room. This was the first thing I noticed. Looking at the beautiful scenery and hearing the nature sounds immediately made me feel more relaxed and comfortable. I was able to rest a little easier and feel more calm, even though I was anxious about healing! Thank you for this incredible program!" -Rebecca C.

It combines various elements such as technology, design, and ambiance to create a tranquil and stress-reducing environment. Here are some key features and components commonly found in immersive relaxation rooms:

Lighting: LED lighting systems with adjustable color temperatures can mimic natural sunlight or create calming and soothing atmospheres. Smart lighting can automatically change colors to complement the films being displayed.
