Participants receive normal cardiac rehabilitation according to approved standard of care. They use multiple pieces of exercise equipment at each session for increasing amounts of time and at incrementally increasing levels of difficulty. After establishing a baseline, participants are allowed to use the treadmill for "up to 15 minutes" at each session.

Participants use multiple pieces of exercise equipment at each session for increasing amounts of time and at incrementally increasing levels of difficulty. After establishing a baseline, participants are allowed to use the treadmill for "up to 15 minutes" at each session. The treadmill is positioned in front of a vertically oriented high definition television screen showing Bionautica Trails, virtual walking trails created by Plas.md.

During time on the treadmill, participants walk in front of Bionautica Trails, the virtual walking trails created by Plas.md. Participants can select between seven trails including various nature themed trails and a space setting. While walking, participants wear wireless headphones that provide audio of cardiac rehabilitation education at random intervals. These education pieces cover six categories of information: Understanding Your Heart Condition, Diet, Exercise, Medication, Managing Risk Factors, and Emotional Health.

Each participant will complete a 6MWT at both their first and last cardiac rehab treatment sessions. Distance improvement between first and last treatment session is expected for all participants. Average distance improvement (measured in feet) between study arms will be compared to evaluate effectiveness of interventions.

All participants are asked to complete a satisfaction survey, utilizing likert scales and location specific questions to evaluate their satisfaction with treatment. Questions delineate the differences between experiences part of standard of care and those specific to the trial.
