Bloom
Stress, anxiety, burn-out…These are the main mental symptoms, diseases in our century. In an attempt of personal growth and well-being, Witch & Crow is developing a new virtual reality project: Bloom. A meditative, relaxing and soothing experience in a natural universe, with soft, pastel undertones and delicate flowers that are sensible to your presence.
Inspired by scientific researches on hypnosis, and the effects of a virtual environment on the human mind, Bloom is aiming to give a small respite, similar to gazing at a Japanese garden, so as to help find appeasement and ideally, to participate as help in the healing process of patients with anxiety or chronic pain.
Engage with Bloom and find mental quietude through a sensorial and oneiric experience.
