Tripp develops mood-altering virtual reality experiences

Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous amount of research on the effects of digital and interactive experiences on the brain. We engage in different activities because of the way they make us feel. We listen to music, play video games, binge on our favorite shows, and our mental state is altered accordingly. But in many cases, we don’t have much control over the impact our daily digital interactions have on our mood. But this could change soon as the company Tripp promise to make a VR experience that will alter our mood and our mind.

Tripp: A suitable mood for any situation thanks to VR

The start-up Tripp works on the development of what it calls “transformative digital experiences,” which should influence both your own thinking, as well as the mood and emotions. In this way, users can use the sensory and immersive elements of the VR to change their own emotions. The developers want to contribute to a more effective and happier life.

The whole thing should work like this: As in a catalog, the user selects a mood and through a combination of additive and visual elements, various gameplay mechanics and meditation, user should reach the desired emotional state.

In addition, the VR experience should adapt to the user and work procedurally, thus always revealing a new and different immersive world. In this way the developers want to avoid repetitive learning effects, which could impair the function. However, the team is still at the beginning of their journey.
