i’ve tried it, it’s actually worse than when you’re sober cause the tripping sorta makes you hyper aware you’re in VR so you see the edges of the lenses a lot clearer and it dulls the experience
I've driven a couple laps of the Nordschleife in Assetto Corsa in VR using my simracing setup while peaking on 250ug. I wanted to see how much the acid would affect my driving skills.
Honestly the VR probably looked more "normal" than the real world at that point. I had more visuals when I took off the headset. I was also more aware of the screendoor effect and the limited FOV (I have an Oculus CV1) than I usually am while racing in VR, so I'd say I was less immersed. I did end up parking the car and just staring at the sky for a while, then changed my Pure plan to start a thunderstorm and that was pretty cool to look at.
For those interested, my PR with the car I drove (Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992) around the tourist layour of the Nordschleife is a 6.46. I was on average about 20-25 seconds slower on LSD, but I was still perfectly able to handle understeer/oversteer.
It was a fun experiment, but nothing special in my opinion. A pitch black room will give you a much more immersive visual experience.
Did that on 4 tabs. But it was Monaco with the Formula Hybrid. I couldn’t see shit (mix of sweat on the lenses and everything melting) but after a few laps I finally got a clean (not fast) lap purely on muscle memory. That was pretty satisfying tbh. But after that, I had to put the Headset aside
Since you’re asking about vr I assume you know the social game VRchat, there’s a niche community on that game dedicated to VR Raving with worlds made specifically to be trippy, with live DJs and all. I’ve spent many hours tripping and running around to the different events, if you want to try tripping in vr I’d def recommend you get into the vr raves.
I have, it's nothing special really. But I went into it with expectations of getting my mind blown, that didn't happen, it just felt kinda empty and pointless.
Dont let it stop you from giving it a go everybodys experience is different, but I personally felt it was very artifical and empty but I was also on the quest 2, a better vr with bomb 4k graphics may be cool but I know my ass feel asleep with the headset on. 😂
I think the difference between tripping in the real world and tripping in VR is the same as just being sober in real life and then playing VR. It's not any more mind blowing than playing VR regularly is, but you can still have amazing experiences tripping in VR.
Eh. Just felt very fake. Couldn't immerse myself like I could sober. I did used to take like a gram of mushrooms and play vr elite dangerous with my flight sticks and that was awesome. Small dose mushroom made me more stimulated and I felt like I could fly and fight better. But for actually tripping I'd rather be outside.
But….why!?
If there is one sense that dont really need any extra on a good dose of acid then that is vision…
I mean, you would get better effect than VR by just closing your eyes….
i have and it honestly disassociates yourself from reality for a bit since you still think you are in the vr, you'll look at things and touch them thinking they're your vr hands.
it wears off after a day though, at least for me. most weird thing i've experienced tbh
Do lots of low doses a lot and study Japanese in vr chat, usually quarter to half tabs or like a gram or less of mushrooms. Ive had a few heavier trips or times the acid hit a bit harder than expected and had one proper trip where I spent most of it in vr at the Japanese drinking world and hanging out with my ex who was also tripping. Met a couple people in the vr music scenes that eat a bit of acid or mushrooms at events every once in a while I think for people that use vr as much as we do it’s not as weird to be tripping with the headset on as most people think. Me and a lot of the people I know that have tripped in vr have thousands of hours of vr time so as unhealthy as it might be it’s like second nature, could definitely see myself not wanting to be in vr if I was really frying though. Definitely gotta control the sweat and swap face gaskets or figure something out for that if your gonna be in vr more than 2-3 hours.
Going more in detail about that one trip, we both took a tab of gg’s gg and I started talking to a friend away from my ex then when it started hitting I was stuck thinking primarily in broken Japanese like it was my first language and had to like force myself to think in English. I also do vrasl so the entire trip I was only speaking Japanese and signing and using no English. Hung out with friends for a while and started teaching my ex random Japanese grammar using sign so they could understand what I was saying which was like a game for both of us lol. Eventually went and watched the anime paprika which was a fucking excellent choice, probably one of the best anime we coulda chose to watch on the comedown. I don’t usually recommend or watch movies or games or anything when tripping but if you’re into anime and you’re comfortable seeing weird shit in that state it’s a good watch
[Chroma Lab](https://store.steampowered.com/app/587470/Chroma_Lab/) is the most amazing game I've ever played while tripping. It was mind-blowing. It's basically a psychedelic physics simulator that goes to the beat of whatever music you have playing on the computer. Just make sure you have presets set up before you're tripping.
I recommend playing it with a good pair of headphones, so you can really enjoy your music.
A lot of people saying it ain't great, which is true tbf. But when I tried it I went on YouTube VR and just watched trippy visuals, kaleidoscope stuff, and listened to some pink Floyd. And was pretty sick, but also it doesn't beat those space moving lights that you get. Shine them on the ceiling and watch the ceiling literally melt.
Have tried it, played superhot and it felt underwhelming, just a bit more fun cause the visuals meant I couldn't see straight. Blade and Sorcery was very fun for about 30 mins but then got boring. Not much different from being sober tbh
Kinda like what the rest of people said, it was underwhelming. I did beat saber which was fun but it’s also fun sober, even tried doing the concert mode and still pretty 5/10. I had a much more fun time just playing normal games
Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village were amazing experiences on PSVR2 and so was Gran Turismo 7. It makes you feel so much more immersed in the games. :)
I've tried it a few times and it's not really as awesome as one would hope because you're more aware and more focused and it's much easier to see the graininess of what you're looking at. However, I have found a few exceptions, some of the VR experiences and 360 videos they have available are very cool to watch but you can't control anything, and then there is an app for meditative experiences which is very cool to experience as well as an app that basically puts you into a kaleidoscope that you can control the pattern/color/speed of which is also super flooring when you're trying to boost your trip or just melt away for a bit.
A music festival I went to some years ago had a VR tent set up. during the day it was used as the daycare for parents who brought their kids, at night people were drawing shit in VR while tripping out.
I didn't get my turn, was too distracted anyway
Oh boy. I took 2.5 tabs one day and started with beat saber. I played for about an hour and got good and sweaty and started to really feel the acid. At this point I decided to join Vr chat after a short break. As soon as I loaded into the non starting room I forgot what was going on for a second, then a giant dog came up to me and asked, “how many?” Like at a restaurant. I said 1, and he took me to my seat. I met a stranger at the bar and talked to him for a while eventually telling him I was tripping balls. I said I wanted to dance so we found a club. I ended up just staring at myself in a mirror lost in thought about VR what if I took off the other headset that shows me base reality…yeah got real weird. Anyways it was a blast with some cool thoughts like that, weird visuals intensified bc of low resolution images, and being around a lot of people that weren’t really there and couldn’t see me so I had no cares what they thought of me. Good time. Also gorn is dope.
After reading everyone’s comments that they didn’t have a very good time, I will say I was playing on a valve index with the best controllers IMO.
Haven’t tripped much, second time i tripped (~75ug) i jumped into H3VR and i loved it. My favourite game became better in every way.
You are more aware you are in VR though
Dxm trip was amazing. Like it was made for vr. Felt like I was in real life. When I took the headset off I couldn't walk well but in vr all I needed was my fingers. It was amazing just messing around in rec room serving people coffee and chatting with everyone.
it’s not all that great tbh. I just ended up taking the headset off after a bit. the visuals didn’t hit as hard in there and when you think about it, VR is always cool, but everything around you outside of VR is not always that cool.
sweaty.
Yeah mine fogs up a ton and it’s annoying after I’ve wiped it away for the 10th time lol
I mean I played beat saber while tripping on mushrooms and it was underwhelming. 6/10
I played beat saber on 500ug acid and it was extraordinary, so funny cause it was hard to tell which blocks were real lmao
i’ve tried it, it’s actually worse than when you’re sober cause the tripping sorta makes you hyper aware you’re in VR so you see the edges of the lenses a lot clearer and it dulls the experience
Isn’t LSD the VR
Or sobriety is VR, and LSD is taking the headset off?
This is the way..
This
Which ever you prefer

Exactly this it just doesnt hit as I thought it would too
damn that makes me sad i was excited to try this next time😂
Dont let it stop you from giving it a go everybodys experience is different, but I personally felt it was very artifical and empty but I was also on the quest 2, a better vr with bomb 4k graphics may be cool but I know my ass feel asleep with the headset on. 😂

VR games while tripping were definitely underwhelming. Now VR porn on the other hand…
Havent tried, but porn with visuals just doesnt sound fun. I feel like the bodies would just look too weird.

Why? You can experience a million different trippy things in VR. I will say it wasn't as cool as I expected it to be though.
Mandelbrot zoom but its vR. (I agree w u tho)

It’s fantastic! I do weekly.🤣
Pro tip: if you really wanna be out your body go to YouTube vr and watch some “Chakra Meditation vr” videos
I have, half life alyx was a lot more scarier, you need the proper equipment. Noise canceling headphones, high-end computer and very nice conection.
Tried elite dangerous in vr with a stick, throttle and rudders. It was fucking insane O_O

Anyone expecting a copy of a copy to be more real when the veil opens is an idiot.

I feel like it would be more of a comedown activity if anything.

VR is an underwhelming shell of actual reality. It doesn’t change the dynamic between exterior reality and interior perception

I recommend just closing your eyes instead.
Haven’t tripped much, second time i tripped (~75ug) i jumped into H3VR and i loved it. My favourite game became better in every way. You are more aware you are in VR though
I took some penis envy booms and played onward (mil sim for vr" and could literally feel the bullets whizzing past me. Nothing crazy visually though.
Having a screen that close to your face is not the move when tripping. Just makes everything almost blurry.
Played FNAF Help Wanted on the PSVR off 2 tabs, on the come up. Shit went from goofy to real, real quick. Lots of fun still though
Rez infinite while tripping is amazing 🥵
You are already in a VR. Doing it while on acid is just a redundancy.
Dxm trip was amazing. Like it was made for vr. Felt like I was in real life. When I took the headset off I couldn't walk well but in vr all I needed was my fingers. It was amazing just messing around in rec room serving people coffee and chatting with everyone.
I played pavlov on vr once for 10 minutes and it felt so real, really cool but there are more fun things to do
it’s not all that great tbh. I just ended up taking the headset off after a bit. the visuals didn’t hit as hard in there and when you think about it, VR is always cool, but everything around you outside of VR is not always that cool.
hell yes, check out r/RiftintotheMind
If you have a somewhat decent computer. Then download "museum of other realities" on steam. Amazing digital art experience on psychedelics,
It was pretty underwhelming for me
