The Virtual NDE: A Near-Death Experience in Virtual Reality (360° Video)

Through fully-immersive 360º virtual reality (VR), we can better understand what a near-death experience may feel like. The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is proud to debut The Virtual NDE, which visualizes some of the most common characteristics of NDEs from thousands of records reported to IANDS and the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF).
IANDS’s inaugural artists-in-residence, Virgil Wong and Daniel Ryan, created the Virtual NDE in close collaboration with IANDS board members led by Daniel Endy, Evan Mecham, and Bob Coppes. The team designed this VR simulation to help non-experiencers better understand NDEs and adopt healthier views about life and mortality.
