## About This Game
AYAHUASCA is a Virtual Reality film in which participants are immersed in
visions triggered by a dose of ayahuasca. The spectator lives this through the
eyes of director Jan Kounen as he goes on a spiritual voyage in the heart of
the Amazon. Through the use of Virtual Reality, AYAHUASCA hopes to stay
faithful to the original Shipibo tradition of consuming this plant as a
transformative and meditative ritual. As such, the psychedelic journey will be
guided by an indigenous South American shaman who will provide advice and
structure for the experience. Motion sensors in the headset will allow the
system to keep track of the user’s movement and posture and react accordingly.
The visions will either intensify or diminish, ensuring that the film will not
be too intense nor too unstimulating. Filmed in 360 ͒, AYAHUASCA’s conceived
for HTC Vive, Oculus, or Playstation VR and can be viewed as a 360 ͒ video.

AYAHUASCA has been internationally recognized at the following festivals:
Best Documentary Raindance 2019, Nominee at Tribeca 2019, Annecy 2019, Sandbox
