No Small Talk
A VR Experience for The BBC
BBC VR Talk Show
In our first project with the BBC, No Small Talk is a VR talk show. Our co-producer was Lyristic.
Millennial Women
Dive into a groundbreaking VR experience tailored for millennial women, meticulously crafted for Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. In our inaugural collaboration with the BBC, we bring you No Small Talk, a captivating talk show hosted by two renowned and inspiring figures: Cherry Healey and Emma Gannon. Join them in exploring the profound ideas shaping our daily lives and navigating the ever-evolving world around us. No Small Talk isn't just a show; it's a commitment to making VR accessible to women everywhere. Drawing from U.S. research highlighting the gender gap in VR usage (YouView, 2016), we've designed this experience to resonate with and empower female audiences.
“We are thrilled to be launching No Small Talk with the BBC. Some of my most enlightening life moments have been because of great conversations. We set out to use the power of virtual reality to scale the magic of conversation; inspiring our audience to get together with friends, put down their smartphones and have their own small-talk-free conversations.”
The Art Of Conversation
At its core, No Small Talk is an experiment in the power of authentic conversation. We believe that natural dialogue serves as a conduit for sharing and evolving ideas, and VR amplifies this connection, inviting users to actively participate in the discourse. Through our VR platform, we aim to redefine the art of conversation, fostering an immersive environment where every viewer becomes an integral part of the dialogue.
“We had a clear goal to try and create a VR format that felt immersive, unique and fulfilled the challenge of delivering a vibrant editorial that was intimate, surprising and accessible to women. We wanted to ensure that the viewer felt part of the conversation but we also wanted to devise tools to enhance the experience beyond just having a seat at the table. The combination of the narrative, environment, camera positioning and visual effects all work together to deliver a unique experience that we believe offers the audience something different and compelling.”
