The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) created “The Virtual NDE” video that uses virtual reality technology to synthesize common elements in near-death experience (NDE) reports, offering the world a highly visual look at the transition from life to bodily death.
Artist and digital technologist Virgil Wong, MFA, and artist and hypnotherapist Daniel Ryan, BFA, MS, collaborated with IANDS leaders in creating the video based on IANDS’s extensive collection of reported NDEs. “The Virtual NDE” may be viewed through virtual reality technology, which offers the fullest experience, or through this also compelling and more widely available YouTube version.
IANDS developed the video to help those who have not had near death experiences better understand them and adopt positive views about life and mortality. Near-death experiences have been reported by 4 to 15 percent of the general population and by an estimated 18 percent of cardiac arrest survivors. These reports have occurred over time and across cultures, and among people with and without religious beliefs.

Heartfelt attempt on this, will probably help. However, beginning at 3:08 a huge creepy, alien bug-like apparition appears above a round planet from the dense brown particles and grows in the middle of the screen. If you don't see it, slow down the playback speed and watch it again. Is that intentional? Is this supposed to be a negative NDE that morphs into something positive? Also, what's with the round planet? We live on the inertial plane of an electro-magnetic torroidal field. In common langauge, it's level, a "flat earth." And, please "ask" your AI to exchange the amateurish, computer-generated narration with audio from actual NDErs speaking. With all respect, IANDS, you can do better, MUCH better. These days, 12-year olds can put together something more professional than this using Free Trials of commercial AI software.
While not an experiencer, I have been studying NDEs and conciousness studies for a number of years. This was a profoundly realistic take on something that varies, but is consistent, and yet, unable to be described! Well done IANDS!
This was unexpected, great job IANDS! 🥽
We all need to know about this. Thank you for your efforts to help people understand and no longer fear death.
Stunning and very moving! Thank you, IANDS❤
Stunning.
“Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'
I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!”
I mean rendering an indescribable, ungraspable, beyond-the-senses experience is quite the task. Apologies that the above segment doesn't quite fit. It just popped into my mind. Great job.
this is incredible! Credit to who made this, excellent job!! Blown away!
Beautiful wonderful and calming!!
the question is why don't the other 85 percent have an nde
why take people to the brink then send them back dissapointed . why not wait till it's their real time to die
Good job but still not " more real than real". Also you lacked the telepathy communication. Maybe you should have mentioned about seeing ones loved ones in the prime of their lives. Still a good video.
On his deathbed, William Marshall said that he saw two men in white and that they were coming to take him home.
Christianity ended in 70AD. Jezus did a short work upon the earth. The end had come. We now live connected to God the Father.
Missed the part where you review your past 3,000 prior lives lived, ask why you’ve been tortured for so long with no answer, ask when you can stop reincarnating— no answer
To have joy, IS, to die to everything that will die tomorrow.
Live only for the eternal, not for the temporal, because you will be left empty handed, and in desolation when you lose it, because it’s destined all to be lost, everything that you hold on to in this plane.
A major improvement would be to be narrated by a human, no matter how poorly, instead of an AI voice. An AI voice immediately causes a revulsion, fear of a scam, and disbelief. I see many comments are praising the simulation, but the view of a mirror image on either side of a vertical line in the middle of the field; that is NOT believable; 2 out of 10. You should discuss the problem of visual representation with Jurgen Ziewe, (website multidimensional man).
What a wonderful resource! I'll be sharing this with my students in my Transpersonal Counseling course. Thank you to IANDS for providing such wonderful resources for all.
I cried…I miss that place.
"It feels like I'm being squeezed. How can I fit back in that body?" That is the feeling I had every morning I woke up during suicidal depression. It's good to know that when given the choice, others accept the squeeze.
I owe so much to IANDS, and a core of early researchers (Dr. Greyson, Dr. Ring, Dr. Moore, etc.). There's so much to share from our NDE's, and a wealth of accounts that approach answering the mysteries of life. The consciousness of mother nature as depicted here is true, the telepathy form of communication, the love is all true. In my case, I argued my case to stay but was forced back into my body. We are on individual journeys for the purpose of unity. This simulation is beautiful, thoughtfully conceived and delivered. Thank you IANDS!
😮thank YOU .More please
I want to go Home. I will stay here for as long as I'm supposed to, but I do get homesick, especially with the world the way it is right now..
This is called by a dying brain hallucinating and going haywire.
Honestly, this felt like a cosmic horror. My thoughts, my feelings, my inner world, nothing but harvested data points for a bunch of random people to gorge on in life reviews? Zero respect for people's boundaries. Nonconsensual downloading of other people's thoughts and feelings is forced "intimacy" rather than earned intimacy, and that is creepy, dysfunctional, and immoral. Putting secret cameras in people's houses is wrong, and so the metaphysical equivalent of that can't suddenly be profound. A bunch of disembodied voices or points of light or whatever bossing you around telling you what you have to do with no proof of who the hell gave them that authority? Where is their transparency and accountability? For beings so obsessed with holding people accountable with life reviews.
I will say revive me, revive me because otherwise I will gradually cease to exist during my NDE or OBE. It is a nice experience, but it is the brains way of coping when it is shutting down. If my heart stopped now and I had a near death experience or out of body experience, I would want to be revived because I don't want to cease to exist yet. I want to carry on living.
