In recent years, the use of Virtual Reality devices or somatosensory technology in various fields of teaching or sports has gradually matured. It is even possible to see that libraries or museums use virtual reality to promote reading or art. The trend of cross-border application has been born. The use of horticultural therapy in the current service of dementia or hospice patients is more common than in the past. The research team of the Taiwan Normal University has developed the first 3D Virtual Reality horticultural therapy course in Taiwan. Therefore, this study attempts to use natural virtual reality as an auxiliary care method to see if it can relieve the pain of hospitalized patients in the hospice ward, or relieve the stress of the caregiver (such as the patient's family or ward medical staff)!
