Cows watching a VR pasture might improve their mood to make more milk.

If you happen to drive by a Russian farm and spot a bunch of dairy cows wearing VR glasses, no, they're not playing Tetris Effect. They're watching serene pasture scenes that researchers hope will keep them calm so they produce more milk.

On a farm near Moscow, farmers are trying out new prototype VR glasses that have been altered to be worn comfortably by cows.

Wearing the glasses, the animals were shown a summer field simulation program -- created specifically in "shades of the red and weaker green and blue tones" that cows can actually see -- to determine if the pasture scene altered the cows' moods, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region.

Hack into the VRs and add aliens beaming up and dissecting cows instead..........
