Our take on Ayahuasca
Its focus on a guided visual journey leaves little room for conventional gameplay, branching choices, or player-directed progression. Headset movement and viewing angle shape the presentation, but that design also limits the experience as a traditional game.
What is Ayahuasca?
AYAHUASCA Kosmik Journey is a virtual reality film presenting visions associated with an ayahuasca experience.
Headset motion sensors track movement and posture, while the imagery changes in intensity according to movement and viewing angles. The experience follows director Jan Kounen’s perspective and draws on his travels to the Amazon. An Indigenous South American shaman guides the journey, which follows a transformative and meditative ritual connected to Shipibo tradition. The film was recorded in 360 degrees and can be viewed with HTC Vive, Oculus, PlayStation VR, or as 360-degree video. The work includes warnings about trypophobia and snakes.
