The Black Mirror Experience
An exclusive immersive, interactive experience in New York based on the famous television series.
The Black Mirror Experience™ New York is a personalised, interactive 50-minute adventure.
It is not just a virtual reality game, an escape room or a passive show. It is an immersive first-person narrative in which the spectator becomes the protagonist and their decisions determine the course of the story itself.
Multiple VR devices with simultaneous management
This experience is inspired by the universe of the acclaimed television series “Black Mirror®”. An AI captures the participant's facial features and voice before the experience begins in order to create their own virtual avatar, which accompanies them throughout the journey.
The main requirement was to equip the virtual experience with high-performance Virtual Reality devices that could be managed simultaneously, together with accessories that would guarantee a smooth user experience.
The experience has a limited capacity of 6 people per group. However, the project is able to run simultaneous sessions, with up to 60 people enjoying it in parallel in the same venue.
120 PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise kits
INVELON, UNIVRSE's technology partner, supplied 120 kits made up of PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise headsets and BOBOVR accessories: the technology needed to step fully in and enjoy the immersive virtual reality experience.
Thanks to these devices, attendees can enjoy the immersive virtual reality experience simultaneously, split into different groups and in complete comfort, exploring and entering a virtual world that entertains them while they reflect on deeper questions.
A successful, immersive, interactive and personalised experience
The Black Mirror Experience™ has been designed to transform the spectator, turning them from a passive observer into an active participant in an interactive, immersive story set in a dystopian world centred on data harvesting and Artificial Intelligence.
Thanks to the technology deployment provided by INVELON and the support given to the creators of the experience, the Virtual Reality experience is proving to be a resounding success.
The Black Mirror Experience™ New York received a mention in the Cannes Immersive Competition 2026 and is currently running at The Shed, New York. It is a production by Banijay Live Studio, UNIVRSE and LetsGo Company.
