In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats
In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats is a multi-sensory VR experience that takes you back to the 1980s, when illegal raves were transforming British culture. Step into the shoes of a rave-goer, explore secret warehouses and feel the music pumping through your body. You'll meet the promoters, police officers, and ravers who made Acid House happen. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a truly revolutionary moment in history.
VR Documentary
We are a VR production studio that tells stories that matter. Our award-winning documentaries use immersive technology to create empathy, trigger action, and achieve positive impact. From the London 7/7 bombings to the detention of refugees, we use VR to bring people face-to-face with injustice and inspire them to make a difference. Our work has been recognised by the VR Awards, World Press Photo, and the Broadcast Digital Awards. We are determined to tell stories that deserve greater recognition and to create immersive content that has a social impact. Explore our website to learn more and watch our films.
