A user experience study of the commercial psychedelic virtual reality application Cosmic Flow found that the experience is characterized by moderate interaction, personal reflection, and VR ergonomics. From interviews with six participants, seven design considerations emerged for psychedelic VR: non-active engagement, positive indolence and idleness, non-invasive multi-sensory modalities, creative and introspective activities, effects of priming, virtual nature, and comfortableness. These findings guide designers and researchers working on similar experiences.
