Digitally-Induced Altered States of Consciousness and Playful HCI: Future Research Agenda of a...
summary
Proposes DIAL as the umbrella class for digital technologies that induce altered states and maps existing examples—meditative and psychedelic VR, binaural beats, biofeedback and projected brain‑computer interfaces—onto societal effects using the PESTEL framework. Claims the field can reshape culture, healthcare and gaming, offers a research agenda to create interdisciplinary terminology, identify technological antecedents and run speculative design studies, and reports no deployed prototype yet, focusing on mapping and future directions.
