Squint Opera

At Journey, we envision and build real products and experiences, with real technologies, for real people – in whichever reality they choose. We come from a multitude of backgrounds, disciplines and industries, so we’re equipped with the insight and expertise to help clients create engaging new customer experiences by applying a comprehensive range of innovative capabilities, including Conversational AI, Web 3.0, Metaverse, physical, 3D, Immersive, Blockchain, and more. We dream of a future where technology helps us tell richer stories, forge better relationships, and build concepts that champion the human experience. Squint/Opera is Journey’s immersive design studio, bridging the digital and physical worlds through groundbreaking storytelling and emerging technologies such as Unreal Engine and virtual twins. We’re the innovators behind the Empire State Building Observatory’s digital reinvention, creating over 40 unique exhibits that transform 10,000 square feet into an interactive journey through history and architecture. At Battersea Power Station, we designed Lift 109, an immersive ascent experience that melds cutting-edge animations, interactive elements, and spatial soundscapes to breathe new life into London’s iconic landmark. For Qiddiya City, we pushed the boundaries of virtual production, crafting a revolutionary campaign that ignited global excitement for Saudi Arabia’s visionary sports and entertainment mega-development. We’re at the forefront of a new era in experiential multidimensional design (MDX) and an integral part of Journey’s Experience Stack. Inspired by the concept of a tech stack, our Experience Stack draws on decades of cumulative expertise from our physical, lighting, live & immersive, and emerging technology studios to produce magical, meaningful, original work. This integration propels our partners into new realms of growth and delivers multidimensional experiences that are not just consumed but that are lived and felt through every dimension of human interaction.
