[FRIAM] Isness: Using Multi-Person VR to Design Peak Mystical-Type Experiences Comparable to Psychedelics

[Steve Smith]

and for the use cases involved a prone position...

https://diver-x.jp/halfdive/en/

I do often wish I could adjust the up-vector in my Quest or Go such that 
I  could use it laying down or reclining significantly. Movies and 2.5D 
paint programs already support arbitrary orientation including azimuth, 
but "obvious" other apps I'd like to be able to use en-recline are 3D 
modeling (e.g. SketchUpVR), workbench apps like molecular modelling 
(e.g. Nanome).

In support of Dave's point about vestibular vs visual cues, this mode 
*could* be problematic for some folks and I'd expect *visceral* apps 
like dance/games to be quite awkward.  On the other hand, if the mode of 
locomotion in an app were to be "fully bouyant levitation" I expect the 
prone position would actually work *better* than standing.  An auto-tilt 
inversion "chair" would probably facilitate faux gravity adjustments as 
long as there was >0G in at least one direction (nominally gravity and 
ac/deceleration).

The market continues to evolve... the new Samsung Omnicept in the list 
of Steam recommended headsets adds interesting features like 
gaze/pupillary/lip detection/tracking and heart rate...  but naturally 
apps that exploit this (well) will lag and there will be other divergent 
sensors in competing gear "soon".

I remember when TUIO <https://www.tuio.org/> and multi-touch was the 
end-all of advanced UI abstractions!
