Impulse: Playing with reality

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.
