EXPLORE ADHD LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Narrated by Academy Award®-winner Tilda Swinton, IMPULSE: PLAYING WITH REALITY
is a ground-breaking 40-minute mixed reality (MR) experience that transforms your surroundings.
Witness the chaos, creativity, and intensity of ADHD.

ADHD is widely misunderstood. Many go undiagnosed, facing serious risks—including a suicide rate
five times higher for adults with ADHD. Greater awareness can be life-changing.

 

STEP INTO FOUR UNIQUE STORIES

Leanne turns life into a game to escape boredom.
Omar thrives in chaos, planning high-stakes heists.
Errol adopts a madcap persona to earn respect.
Tara is on the brink…of giving up.

 

 IMMERSIVE MR FEATURES

Fast-Paced Challenges: An impossible-to-win game mirrors ADHD’s struggle under pressure.
Reality in Flux: Shadows become portals, objects trigger chain reactions, and words spiral into chaos.

Created by Anagram, co-produced by Floréal & France Télévisions,
and supported by Meta VR for Good, IMPULSE continues the acclaimed
PLAYING WITH REALITY collection, following GOLIATH (2021),
a Venice-winning, Emmy-nominated VR experience about psychosis.
