More Than Virtual Tourism — A Wellness Tool
Why It Matters
Travel isn't just leisure — it's a cognitive and emotional wellness tool. CoDo brings those benefits to everyone.
• Novel stimulation: Neuroscience research shows that novel environments activate the hippocampus and release dopamine, supporting memory formation and cognitive flexibility
• Awe and well-being: UC Berkeley's Dacher Keltner found that awe experiences reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6), linking wonder to measurable immune system benefits
• Social presence: Exploring together in VR activates the same social bonding pathways as traveling together in person — because your brain treats VR presence as real presence
• Accessibility: For older adults, people with mobility limitations, or anyone who can't travel frequently, CoDo World provides the cognitive and emotional benefits of travel without leaving home
Every destination in CoDo World is curated not just for beauty, but for the sense of awe and calm that produces real health benefits.
