For what this is setting out to be, Nature Treks is a resounding success. It's a series of pretty visual spaces to wander around in VR. It supports teleport, arm-swing, and slide movement, so however you feel like wandering will work for you. It's fairly tweakable in the moment, and each map has a selection of interesting tools (toss an orb to create butterflies, or grow a tree, for example). Plus, most maps have two time-of-day options and two weather options, which is neat. The sounds are high quality and very atmospheric.

I don't think it's great as a meditative aid, despite being advertised as potentially useful that way - it's a bit too hard to forget about the headset strapped to your face, IMO. Also, the graphics aren't, y'know, photorealistic or anything - this isn't photogrammetry at its finest. But it's beautiful and immersive, and that's all I was really asking for. It's incredibly soothing and a great way to introduce the less gamer-inclined of your guests to what VR is like.

Do note that the controls can take some getting used to - there's in-game help to figure out what they are, but some of the buttons are pretty arbitrarily assigned. Not a huge deal, though. If you have a broken Vive wand trackpad, some of the directional buttons are probably gonna be wonky for you.

If you're looking for a variety of pretty visual landscapes to look at in the headset, this is the one you're looking for.
