David Glowacki

David Glowacki is a cross-disciplinary researcher, with interests spanning computer science, nanoscience, aesthetics, cultural theory, and spirituality. He founded the ‘Intangible Realities Laboratory’ (IRL) which applies virtual reality to develop interactive scientific simulation and visualisation at the immersive frontiers of scientific, aesthetic, computational, and technological practice. His work entails the development of a global citizen science network to investigate the use of virtual reality to elicit scalable mystical-type experiences which are comparable to psychedelics, using the so-called ‘Isness’ protocol. His future work in collaboration with Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris plans to combine virtual reality with mild doses of psilocybin.
