InnerRealms
InnerRealms is a research paper and VR mediation app for users of psychedelic-assisted Therapy.
By conducting interviews and observing online activity of the community over three months we learned what they value, fear, respect, and cherish. We learned everything on how to make them tick and enhance their experience to design an app that can be used in tandem or entirely separately from Psychoactive drugs.
The App
The two most important things about Psychedelic Assisted Therapy are set and setting. When using InnerRealms, users wearing an MR headset could meditate, talk to therapists and explore beautiful surroundings all while feeling safe in their home.
InnerRealms also gave legitimacy to potential users who were nervous about Psychedelics but had a condition that would benefit from Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. We wanted to introduce and welcome users into the experience without infringing on their personal boundaries.
