Stockholm, Sweden – This April, Virtual Serenity, the world’s largest location-based VR empathy experiment, will make its debut in Sweden, and you are invited to be part of this transformative experience. Taking place on April 26-27, 2025 at Sergel Hub, Stockholm, this immersive event will feature 128 participants per session, each embarking on a deeply introspective VR journey. Merging advanced biometrics and custom VR technology, the experience will create a collective consciousness that fosters emotional connection and self-awareness.
Virtual Serenity, created by The Waldorf Project and led by visionary futurist artist Sean Rogg, is set to push the boundaries of what’s possible in both technology and human interaction. Over years of research and a successful trial in Berlin, this cutting-edge experiment seeks to challenge traditional notions of connection in digital environments, offering participants an unprecedented opportunity to explore empathy, collective consciousness, and the emotional landscape of the virtual world.
At the heart of this experience is the fusion of biometric data—such as heart rate and body temperature—which interacts in real time with the VR journey, adapting the experience to the participant’s physiological responses. This innovative approach offers a deeper, more personal level of engagement, making the experiment an entirely unique and transformative opportunity.
The event is part of Sergel Hub’s continued commitment to supporting and showcasing experimental technology and art. As a strategic partner, Sergel Hub is proud to host this groundbreaking project, solidifying its position as Stockholm’s premier platform for innovative art and technology.
Sean Rogg, the creator of Virtual Serenity, will be available for interviews ahead of the event, offering further insight into the vision, process, and impact of this ambitious project. This is an exceptional chance to engage directly with one of the leading futurist artists of our time and explore the future of VR empathy.
