A farmer from Turkey said he is simulating green pastures on virtual reality headsets to reduce the cows' stress in an attempt to have them produce more milk. İzzet Koçak said his family has been in the agriculture industry for three generations and that he cares for more than 180 cows. In addition to having his cows wear VR headsets, Koçak also has the cows listen to classical music in order to keep their stress levels lowered. He told Turkish news outlet Anadolu Ajansi he simulates various green pastures on the headsets so the cows feel that they are outside and is great for their mental wellbeing.
