Zero Days VR | Virtual Reality Experience

20 min | Sundance Film Festival, New Frontiers, 2017

Experience the high stakes of cyber warfare from inside the invisible world of computer viruses.

Zero Days VR explores the next chapter of modern warfare through the true story of Stuxnet: the first cyber weapon in the world known to cause real-world physical damage. Audiences experience the invisible world of cyber warfare through the perspective of the virus on a secret mission hatched by the US and Israel to sabotage an underground Iranian nuclear facility. The project highlights how this digital threat is closer to home than we realize, representing a new chapter in modern warfare.

Based on Alex Gibney’s Oscar-short-listed Participant Media documentary Zero Days, this award-winning, immersive documentary visualizes the story of Stuxnet in a new way: placing you inside the invisible world of computer viruses, experiencing the high stakes of cyber warfare at a human scale.

This project emerged out of a collaboration with Alex Gibney and Jigsaw Pictures on the original documentary feature film. Accessed it on VR devices on Oculus/Meta Store, and on Steam. More information at www.zerodaysvr.com
