Banijay is launching<\/a> the Black Mirror Experience<\/a>, starting with Montreal in May with additional locations to be announced in the future. Specifically, it will be produced by Banijay Live Studio, the new subsidiary of the production company that owns Black Mirror,<\/a> in partnership with VR firm Univrse. The studio describes it as an interactive virtual reality experience that blends \u201cphysical space and VR\u2026 designed to blur the lines of fiction and reality in which you become the main character.\u201d While it is based on the hit TV show, you apparently don\u2019t need any prior knowledge of the series to be able to enjoy it.<\/p>\n

The experience, which will span 60 minutes, can accommodate one person and groups of up to six people. Players 12-years-old and above are welcome to participate. It puts the players in the showroom of a fictional tech giant called Phaethon that\u2019s unveiling the LifeAgent, a robotic AI companion that\u2019s supposed to make their owners\u2019 life easier. LifeAgent does a full-body scan of its owner so it would know their needs before they do. But in true Black Mirror fashion, \u201conce it sees through [their] eyes, it knows exactly how to help\u2026 whether [they] asked it to or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can take part in the event at Infinity Experiences in Montreal, where you\u2019ll be able to play it in French, English and Spanish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Banijay is launching the Black Mirror Experience, starting with Montreal in May with additional locations to be announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[220931,77703,49,48,2338,61,260,131672,261,262],"class_list":{"0":"post-575434","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-banijay-live-studio","9":"tag-black-mirror","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-montreal","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-virtual-reality","15":"tag-virtual-reality-experience","16":"tag-virtualreality","17":"tag-vr"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
