'Cosmic Sugar' is a new virtual reality wellness game designed by multi-disciplinary artist David Lobser. The innovative game blends art, sound, and physics to immerse users in a therapeutic experience in which they can manipulate light using an Oculus Touch controller.
The game grants users complete control over various "light types," including 'Spray,' 'Spiral,' 'Starburst,' and 'Point Cloud Stamp.' Moreover, users can explore a variety of connected soundwaves and even create their own sounds. Together, the various elements allow users to craft unique VR art pieces that can be saved, loaded, and exported via an easy-to-use in-game menu.
The virtual experience was designed specifically to soothe the mind and open up users' creativity by immersing them in a relaxing, dream-like space.
