Psychedelic Simulation Glasses

Bence Agoston's Unique Glasses Mimic the Experience of a Drug Trip

— July 22, 2015 — Art & Design
Rather than taking some sort of mind-altering substance to bring on a psychedelic trip, designer Bence Agoston created a pair of unique glasses to simulate these sorts of visuals.

The 3D-printed Mood sunglasses feature an unusual, undulating frame that is slotted with spaces for six layered lenses. Each lens is printed with a colorful hallucinatory pattern and when rotated, the lenses put a number of psychedelic-inspired visuals before the eyes of the wearer. Since these lenses can be swapped out and used in multiple configurations, the possibilities for what a user will see could be endless.

In terms of use, Agoston imagines that someone might want to onset a drug-free psychedelic experience when listening to music or gazing out a window during a travel adventure to inspire reflections on harmony.
Trend Themes
1. Psychedelic Visualization - The use of unique glasses to simulate psychedelic visuals presents an opportunity for creating immersive experiences in the entertainment industry.
2. Modular Lens Technology - The development of interchangeable lenses in glasses opens up possibilities for customizable eyewear experiences and personalized visual effects.
3. Mind-altering Substitutes - Creating drug-free alternatives for inducing psychedelic experiences introduces opportunities in the wellness and mental health industries.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - Psychedelic visualization glasses can revolutionize the gaming and virtual reality industries by providing users with highly immersive and visually stimulating experiences.
2. Eyewear - The integration of modular lens technology in eyewear can disrupt the fashion and accessories industry, offering consumers customizable and unique visual styles.
3. Wellness - Developing mind-altering substitutes for inducing psychedelic experiences can create disruptive innovations in therapy and meditation practices within the wellness industry.
