As TRIPP CEO Nanea Reeves, describes, the app delivers as a “low-friction alternative that can deliver some of that [psychedelic] experience in a more benign way." The immersive VR app has proven to be especially valuable for people at a time when they've needed to double down on mindfulness, mental well-being and at-home entertainment. At a time when people are faced with travel restrictions, the fantastical app also helps to provide a sense of escape. The app for Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift and PSVR can be accessed with options like monthly and annual subscriptions, as well as one-time purchases. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Wellness:** Developing virtual reality experiences for mindfulness, meditation and relaxation - **Gamified Meditation:** Innovating meditation practices with interactive elements for a more engaging session - **Psychedelic-inspired Therapy:** Exploring the potential benefits of psychedelic visuals and sound to enhance mental health treatments ### Who This Affects Most - **Virtual Reality:** Opportunity for the VR industry to provide immersive experiences combining entertainment and wellness - **Mental Health and Wellness:** Utilizing innovative technologies to improve mental health treatments and mindfulness practices - **Digital Health:** Integrating virtual reality into digital health solutions as a complementary tool for mental health treatments ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metaverse Wellness Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolvr.md) - [Virtual Meditation Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoame-1.md) - [Mindful Virtual Reality Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maloka.md) - [Streamlined Psychedelic Therapy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketamine-therapy-app.md) - [Mixed-Reality Bedtime Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow.md) - [Mobile VR Pain Management Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowly.md) - [Calming Spatial Computing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lungy-spaces.md) - [VR-Powered Therapy Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rey-1.md) - [VR-Powered Therapeutic Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrpowered-therapeutic-treatments.md)
