Saturday Morning Grooving a 3D/VR game involving audio-reactive visual stimulation to provide a de-stressing experience for stressed industry professionals. This is an interactive music visualization game which uses a variety of inputs such as traditional computer inputs (keyboard, mouse), game controllers, or virtual reality controls (motion controllers) and soothing music and visuals to calm individuals and invoke a sense of relaxation through experiential immersion. The gameplay is simple to learn for everyone to maximize interactivity while minimizing stress. It uses a combination of both psychedelic and music therapy to achieve our project goal and offer a simple game that will help others to improve their mental state.
