VR Social Networks

'Where Thoughts Go' Immerses Players in the Fears and Dreams of Others


'Where Thoughts Go' is a Lucas Rizzotto-created "virtual reality world and anonymous audio-based social network" that immerses participants in the thoughts, dreams and fears of others. 

The experience, which is supported by all major VR platforms, is an experiment in intimacy, emotion and the human experience. Individual audio recordings are stored within floating orbs and before advancing to a new level, users are asked to leave a message of their own behind for others to discover. 

Unlike many social networks, Where Thoughts Go approaches the user experience in a way that is thoughtful and artful. Since privacy is also a major concern for many Internet users, the experience offers privacy tools such as voice modulation and does not collect data beyond a user's login email.
