FloatVR Relaxation and Focus is a free relaxation app in the fitness and health category, made by Brainswitch Labs and published by Brainswitch Labs Inc. You float through colorful, calm worlds meant to help you unwind, and the developer pitches it as an aid for meditation, anxiety and sleep. It came to the Meta Horizon Store on November 15, 2022, and is still in early access.
What you can do
Rather than asking you to focus on your breathing or follow instructions, FloatVR tries to hold your attention with things worth looking at. The developer describes this as mindfulness through fascination instead of effort, and calls its approach scientifically proven. The store page does not cite any studies, so treat the health claims as the developer's own.
- Float through generative worlds that change every time.
- Listen to music written for the app.
- Hear short mindful observations spoken along the way.
- Find rare creatures and objects you can interact with.
- Set the session length, from a few minutes to open-ended.
The developer suggests using it for a morning energy boost, winding down after work or drifting off to sleep, and it runs a user community for support.
Comfort
Meta rates FloatVR as comfortable for most people. It supports seated and standing play, and you can use Touch controllers. The floating is slow and gentle, but if drifting motion bothers you, see our guide to motion sickness in VR.
