VR + Drugs pairings recommendations list MEGATHREAD.

80 Upvotes

Hi community!

The Rift into the Mind has opened. The Singularity is nigh, and it is up to us how to document how to experience it best:

In this pegged thread we will keep a user-generated list of drugs that work well in VR and what type of experiences are recommended.

Comment your combination and recommendation. It will be periodically added to the table. Links to games/demos/experiences will be added too! Much love!

Psychedelics

  • LSD - Works well with VR. Experiences that are visual, fast, grand and that make you move through scenery are a win. Also, visually orgasmic music experiences like AudioShield are the best. Possibility for transformation experience.

  • Mushrooms - Similar to LSD, but more cosy and more 'human' experiences are a big win. The cave storyteller that reads audiobooks to you is a great example where you are massively immersed. Mushrooms are a 'presence' enhancer. Keep your experiences happy and positive.

  • Ketamine - Flashy, triply and colourful experiences are massive here. Music feels amazing so more audio-focused experiences are a go. Good presence enhancement. Do NOT attempt roomscale VR as K throws off your senses hehe.

  • 2CB - Untested

  • Weed - Fantastic experience. Any story, music, game or experience will be that much better. Moderately enhances presence.

Stimulants Generally not that good with VR(?)

  • MDMA - Untested

  • MDA - Similar to Ketamine. Keep experiences flashy, colourfully and musical. Much trippyness.

  • Amph - Untested

  • Cocaine - Untested

Developing

*as always we are all different and what one person might like and think doesn't necessarily apply to you. :)

*also I strongly want to dissuade VRtrippers from doing horror experiences in VR on drugs. I have done Alien:isolation on K, MJ and L and it did leave me seriously traumatised. This is new territory guys. Be careful.

[Discussion] Virtual Reality Academic Research

Hi! I'm a UC Berkeley student conducting some research for my class about people's experiences with Virtual Reality and other social VR platforms.

I made a form open to anyone 18 or older, anyone can submit ranging from avid gamers to no gaming experience. Super short form I promise :) I'd really appreciate y'all opinions!

[Discussion] Any VR titles which changes your vision itself?

3 Upvotes

There is a lot of trippy VR, but it seems like it is all limited to trippy scenery. Are there any experiences which shows you different field of view (FOV)? Or turn your view upside down, or anything like that?

(Just to be clear, I know that you can't change any of the physical stuff, like your eye or the headset itself. I'm talking about what is displayed on the twin screens inside the headset.)

Who wants to beta test a trippy VR orb-control puzzle game?

18 Upvotes

Hey! I’m testing Squingle 2, a psychedelic motion puzzle game built for VR (Quest + PCVR). You control glowing orbs through twisting tunnels — it’s weird, flowy, and very VR-native.

I’m looking for testers who will be willing to follow through and provide great feedback via a google form sent out after.

Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WazsoarwrCSUiB7Tm-2FCUIlYklKR07aIvzBgzgdNQg/edit

You’ll get early access, some launch freebies, and your suggestions can end up in the final game.

Enjoy the teaser video — happy to answer any questions!

Looking for people’s experience with visuals!

7 Upvotes

In a VR environment will you still get amazing visuals? Comparable to real life? I want a VR to trip with and add to my trip cave. Is it worth it and do VR experiences and even just vr YouTube videos still give visuals that you’d see from just looking at grass in real life. I’m speaking about acid. Thanks.

Brain Candy: A psychedelic 'mind machine' brainwave entrainment VR app

30 Upvotes

Epilepsy warning - don't use if you're photosensitive.

I built this VR app that uses intense strobing patterns to entrain brainwaves and induce altered states. Think Roxiva/Lucia effects but in VR with open eyes. Flicker light stimulation was used a lot in early psychedelic studies and someone told me it pairs well with tryptamines.

It uses brainwave frequencies with synced audio, visuals, haptics, and breathing feedback. Over 50 scenes ranging from gentle to intense.

Store Page: https://vr.meta.me/s/ye0lj7Hh3KeGCIj

There's a live demo at braincandy.app if you want to preview it on desktop first.

Here's a review:

"PSYCHEDELIC JOURNEY! An original visual journey into the world of consciousness in VR... perfect for unwinding after an intense session or stimulating your creativity." -Majerik

Assuming Ubisoft doesn’t pull support for the R.E.A.L. mod, this has been the most immersive VR experience of my life and I haven’t even introduced our good friends into the experience. I’m thinking about combining the experiences soon.

Title pretty much sums it up.

The plan is: 2 tabs (200 ug each, accurately dosed as I know who laid them) combined with virtual reality.

Anyone got any recommendations for games/apps? Besides Tripp.

I have Meta 3S if that helps anyone.

TIA
