Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2021) - Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) ("Red Light Holland" or the "Company") an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, is pleased to announce that the company's Psychedelic VR experience named, Wisdom, has been accepted to Steam. Steam is a VR digital distribution platform for PC gaming which has an estimated VR install base of 3.45 million people worldwide[1]. Wisdom, narrated by Russell Peters, explains the effects of psychedelics on the brain within the predictive coding neuroscience framework and takes users into a unique VR immersive experience providing stunning visuals and copious amounts of education and information promoting responsible use. Wisdom is expected to launch on March 17th, 2021 on Steam and it will sell for $4.99 USD.
"Wisdom is another piece of Red Light Holland's Digital Care program that combines cutting edge technology and human innovation to promote education, information and responsible use of our iMicrodose packs," said Todd Shapiro, Red Light Holland CEO and Director. "Wisdom also provides Red Light Holland with another innovative and immediate revenue stream. We continue to cleverly create ways to grow a global psychedelics brand through unique and leading-edge product offerings. Simply put, in my opinion, we are trailblazers. The VR experience was originally designed for Smartshop patrons in the Netherlands, but with this acceptance on Steam, I'm thrilled to share it with the entire world. You should really check it out, including the cameo from Karim Rashid's Wisdom Truffle!"
"I learnt a lot just by narrating it," said comedian Russell Peters. "I wish they had Virtual Reality classes when I was in school. I hope this is the future of education and I feel grateful to be a part of positive change when it comes to understanding psilocybin while hopefully ending stigmas associated with it. The Wisdom VR experience is out of this world!"
Some of the scientific innovations in Wisdom include an accurate model of the 5ht2a neuronal receptor that is affected by the use of psychedelics. Players can fit the psilocybin molecule into the 3D model of the receptor and see what happens to the neuron. Wisdom also explains to players and lets them experience some of the phenomenological sensations that might happen on psychedelics like synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to experiencing a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

"As psychedelics become more accessible it's incredibly important that people have access to our current scientific models around how these powerful substances influence our brain. Since there is plenty of research that proves the best way to learn is through fun and playful methods, that was our focus with Wisdom. It's been an incredible experience to test Wisdom and see the 'Wow' on players' faces even if they are veteran VR players," said Sarah Hashkes, a published psychedelic researcher and CEO of Radix Motion, the company that created Wisdom.
To help with the launch, Red Light Holland is working with Don Hopper (vrgamerdude on YouTube with over 8K followers) and Victoria Del Castillo (@digitalvr_arlab on Clubhouse with over 7K followers) who are both trusted influencers in the VR community across many social media platforms. Del Castillo will be hosting a launch event interviewing the creators on her Club called VR professionals in Clubhouse. "I had so much fun making the trailer and giving people just a little teaser of this unique experience," said Del Castillo.
"I've played a huge amount of VR and when I tried Wisdom for the first time there was something very special about it. I could tell it was made by people who understand both VR and psychedelics. It's been a pleasure working with the developers, giving them feedback to make the experience even better and I'm looking forward to introducing the experience to VR gamers," added Hopper.
