The best of virtual reality
mk2 VR is a jewel of design and technology conceived specifically to make virtual reality a simple, accessible and collective experience. mk2 VR is first and foremost a technical prowess made possible thanks to the support of its technological partners like HTC Vive, Sony Playstation, Oculus Rift and MSi.

Faithful to its reputation, mk2 brings a special level of requirement to the programming, trying to be both eclectic and always new. Fictions, animations, documentaries, video games, simulations and immersive experiences, the contents are chosen for their quality, the emotions they produce and the fresh look they bring. “mk2 VR is a playfield of expressions made to honor the work of the studios and the independent content creators” explains Elisha Karmitz. “Throughout the year, exclusive contents or premieres will be presented to the viewers. We are looking forward unveiling our first collaborations, both with French studios and international creators.”
