Client: Google and Samsung

Agency: Atlantic Studios

Cosmos Unseen: Black Holes is a launch app for the Samsung XR headset, running on Google’s Android XR OS. It’s a first-of-its-kind immersive experience that demystifies complex spacetime phenomena in your own space.

The experience takes you upon a cosmic voyage through the universe letting you get your hands on galaxies, black holes and the very fabric of space and time.

Atlantic brought me in as the lead producer to manage the build from conception to delivery, including creative, VFX, Unity developers, Sound Design, Voice Over and astrophysics.

We collaborated with, and had contributions, from the world's leading scientists including Prof. Sir Roger Penrose, Dr Priyamvada Natarajan, Dr. Ziri Younsi (representing the the Event Horizon Telescope team). The experience is narrated by actress Natasha McElhone.

Cosmos Unseen: Black holes has had early praise from within the industry and from scientists, with Google claiming it is 'a masterclass in immersive multimodal interactive storytelling'.

The experience was recently shown at the London’s Science Museum.
