Oxitocina Machina (2021), 'An experience that brings connection', is a work by Studio VRij and Zalán Szakács.
It is a common misconception that virtual reality isolates us from one another and the world, so Studio VRij, Zalán Szakács and Immensiva joined forces to prove otherwise.
Oxitocina Machina is an extraordinary shared experience that blurs the lines between reality and VR, exploring a virtual connection between strangers, who are in reality separated by a thousand miles. During the experience people who have never met develop a deep connection and release the love hormone oxytocin by playing, moving and sharing.
