The project

The Black Mirror Experience™ New York is a personalized, interactive 50-minute adventure. It's not a simple virtual reality game, an escape room, or a passive show. It's an immersive first-person narrative in which the viewer is the protagonist and their decisions shape the course of the story itself. This is made possible by its virtual assistant system, LifeAgent, an artificial intelligence that captures the participant's facial features and voice before the experience begins to create their own virtual avatar, which accompanies them throughout the journey.

This immersive virtual reality experience is inspired by the universe of the acclaimed television series "Black Mirror®," where a dystopian future prompts viewers to reflect, ethically and morally, in every episode, on the decisions we make as a society in the face of technology.

The Black Mirror Experience™ New York received a mention at the 2026 Cannes Immersive Competition and is currently taking place at The Shed, New York. It is a production by Banijay Live Studio, UNIVRSE, and LetsGo Company.

The Need: Multiple powerful VR headsets with simultaneous management

Equip the virtual experience with powerful VR headsets that could be managed simultaneously, along with accessories that guarantee a seamless user experience.

The VR experience has a limited capacity of 6 people per group; however, the project has simultaneous installation capacity, with several rooms operating in parallel at the same venue, allowing up to 60 people to enjoy the experience at the same time within the circuit, in their own separate groups.

Our Solution: 120 PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise bundles

INVELON, UNIVRSE's technology partner, provided 120 bundles consisting of the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise headset and BOBOVR accessories — the technology needed to step into and fully enjoy the immersive VR experience.

Thanks to these devices, attendees can enjoy the immersive VR experience simultaneously and in different groups, in complete comfort, exploring and immersing themselves in a virtual world that lets them be entertained while reflecting on deeper themes.

The Result: A successful immersive, interactive, and personalized experience

The Black Mirror Experience™ was designed to transform the viewer from a passive observer into an active participant in an interactive, immersive story set in a dystopian world centered on data capture and artificial intelligence.

Thanks to the hardware deployment provided by INVELON and its support for the experience's creators, the VR experience is proving to be a resounding success.
