Developed with a grant and residency at Laboratorio de Interacción, Hangar, Barcelona

Real Virtuality is a VR application to be seen with eyes closed and perceived with the subconscious. It combines two traditional techniques of brainwave synchronization – flickering lights and binaural beats – to induce altered states of consciousness, lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, transes and hallucinations, triggered by sensorial stimuli.

The project provides an open-source platform to explore these techniques and their combination through technologies of Virtual Reality. Users can experience, create and share custom content using cheap cardboard VR headsets and headphones.
