Agree with SOME KID comment above about any simulation is worse than actually being there. But as the producer of Sunrise Earth, a show which takes a little bit to put together... like finding some visual spots on the planet, going there with a couple high res HD cameras, assembling some 140 edits over the hour show... I find myself asking whether the content recorded on the HD (high or low res) cameras was really that engaging... it was, according to the UWashington study, recorded by a rooftop camera of the scene just outside the study site. Previous studies which showed some health benefits of scenes of nature were not images of a parking lot. Lastly, there probably were some cool things to look at in that parking lot, if you got on your knees with a macro lens and recorded the ants collecting food.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
