I really like this, but the background tracks are a little short for my taste. Fireplace and rain are only 3 minutes, and they don't loop very well. It's not so noticeable when it's mixed with the cafe tracks, though. I like Rainy Mood [1] for ambient rain.

I love the scene in Interstellar with the wide shot as they slowly fly past Saturn, where sounds of the jungle are playing in the background. I think ambient sounds and visuals would be really good for mental health when you're away from nature. In the city, on the ISS, or a manned mission to Mars, etc.

In the next few years I'm planning to travel the world and capture beautiful scenery for VR. I want to take long videos, from sunrise to sunset. I'm really interested in Google's GoPro rig, but the JauntVR 360 camera [2[ looks very promising too.

Then I would like to composite a virtual workstation inside those VR videos, with virtual screens, so I can do some work or reading in there. Apparently Samsung is working on an 11K screen with 2250 PPI, so I think this will be feasible in the near future. I've been starting to do some practice runs, too [3].
