Sensory Experience

Can anyone suggest any sensory experience games for an autistic child? my little boy loves just looking around the oculus home but thats quite limited so just wondering if there is any sort of sensory experience we could introduce to him? the simpler the better! (he might just about hold a controller!)
cheers!

There's some relaxing experiences, rather than games, like Nature Treks VR for example, which just involves putting you in different locations/environments and you can see animals, create trees, make butterflies fly around, change the time of day, add rain, snow etc. If he just likes looking around and taking everything in I'd imagine he'd like that one.

Time Transit at a cost, Gnomes And Goblins for a freebie.

Chroma Lab is pretty cool - just put on some music and watch the balls dance around!

Cheers for the suggestions! the Nature treks is a winner for sure! hes been quite happy just exploring the various scenery.
I might give that Time transit a go myself! Chroma lab is pretty cool, theres something rather trippy about it when you have the intro to kids tv shows playing!

Have a look at sansar, they have 1500+ worlds/experiences with animals, rooms of balloons, floating inflatable roast turkeys, light shows. fireworks, you name it. Most of the worlds are devoid of other users so you'll have the place to yourself. It's also the grand price of..... FREE!

I thought that sounded very like 2nd life in VR then realised its made by the same people! I'll check it out

It is from the makers of second life. They've changed some of the rules, so no adult themed stuff. There aren't enough users yet so it just seems like a huge collection of worlds/experiences like fairgrounds and winter wonderlands with all the christmas lights. You can use it in first or third party mode once you've set an avatar up.

Just done the turkey bounce thing. Absolutely bonkers!
