Visitations oferece uma série de vinhetas que relaxam e hipnotizam por meio de batidas binaurais, estrobos sutis, constantes de forma, meditação de varredura corporal e indução de sonhos. Uma trilha sonora composta por healers acompanha essas cenas geradas proceduralmente em tempo real, que se transformam infinitamente sem repetições. Projetado para headsets VR standalone como Quest ou setups baseados em celular, convida à exploração interior de histórias pessoais e estados mentais.
Os usuários interagem direcionando intenções conscientes para espaços abertos e em constante mutação, ideais para jornadas internas, relaxamento, mudanças de humor, mindfulness ou resets mentais. Essas experiências casuais de VR combinam sabedoria xamânica ancestral com técnicas modernas para apoiar meditação e terapia de distração. Perfeitas para sessões terapêuticas focadas.
Visitations is a collection of vignettes designed to relax, entrance, and enhance the viewer’s state of mind. It makes use of techniques such as binaural beats, subtle strobing, form constants, and includes a body scan meditation, a dream induction, and a soundtrack developed by a healer with experience leading traditionally inspired ceremonies. The experiences in Visitations allow users to turn inwards and explore their own stories and mental states. The spaces are open vessels waiting to be filled by the conscious intentions of the users. Ancient shamans intuitively understood the power of the mind, and that their performances would conjure the body’s innate ability to heal. Modern medicine accomplishes a similar effect with lab coats and pills. Visitations employs technology to similar ends.
Development
Visitations has been designed from the ground up for use with stand-alone VR headsets like the Go, Quest and even phone based VR which greatly improves accessibility and ease of use. The scenes run in real-time and are procedurally generated. They never loop and are always different allowing them to be an effective object of meditation.
Art is Therapy
Ancient shamans intuitively understood the power of the mind, and that their performances would conjure the body’s innate ability to heal. Modern medicine accomplishes a similar effect with lab coats and pills. We are beginning to understand that technology can be employed to similar ends.
The Spirit of Experimentation
We are at the start of a long journey. Visitations is a place for artists and scientists to collaborate on experiments which will lead to a vocabulary and a set of best practices to achieving a variety of different therapeutic and aesthetic goals.
Techniques
Subtle Strobing Lights - have been shown to directly affect brainwaves, inducing dissociative states, even helping prevent Alzheimer’s.
Binaural and Isochronic Beats - have a similar ‘brainwave entraining’ effect as strobing lights and have been used for decades in meditation practices.
Form Constants - are geometric patterns which appear during altered states such as hypnogogia and hallucinations.
Tunnels - draw the eye to a single point in the distance.
Body Scan - is a common meditation practice, employed in Vipassana meditation and others.
