Emerging tech – VR/AR/MR/AI

What are the potential impact and ethical considerations of integrating Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and recreational psychedelic use, and how can these technologies enhance therapeutic outcomes, experiences, and user well-being?

This research investigates the role of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and recreational psychedelic use. It explores these emerging technologies' potential benefits and challenges in enhancing therapeutic outcomes and recreational experiences.

In the context of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, we examine how VR, AR, MR, and AI can create immersive environments, provide tailored interventions, and support the integration of psychedelic experiences. These technologies have the potential to enhance the safety, accessibility, and efficacy of therapeutic treatments, offering new possibilities for individuals undergoing psychedelic therapy.

While acknowledging ethical considerations, such as privacy and consent, the research emphasises the responsible and evidence-based implementation of VR, AR, MR, and AI in psychedelic therapy and recreational use. Furthermore, we explore the potential of VR, AR, MR, and AI to augment aesthetic and sensory aspects, facilitate personal exploration, and provide harm-reduction tools.
