Zero Days VR | Virtual Reality Experience
20 min | Sundance Film Festival, New Frontiers, 2017
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
