Prologue Immersive

Prologue Immersive is a Venice, California studio developing virtual reality, augmented reality and spatial computing experiences. Founded in 2014 by Kimber Cooper and Kyle Cooper, it operates within the Prologue studio network as a distinct business from Prologue Films. Its work translates cinematic visual language into interactive environments, combining immersive storytelling with software development and spatial interface design.

The studio develops narrative experiences, commercial applications and prototypes for entertainment, brands and cultural institutions. Its capabilities encompass VR and AR software, immersive user interfaces, experience design, spatial content production and virtual commerce environments. This combination connects the creation of immersive content with the systems through which audiences navigate and interact with it.

Immersive storytelling and collaboration

Its productions include Memos From Hell, also presented as The Land of Hope and Glory, a 360-degree stop-motion VR film made with 3D-printed figures and shown at SXSW. Other work includes the educational experience Science360 and weekly VR companion episodes for TNT’s Major Crimes.

Collaborations have explored different uses of immersive media. The studio created Linkin Park VR with Intel, developed The Big Table VR for Facebook to investigate social interaction, and worked with Hideo Kojima on an interactive VR prototype. These projects span music, education, episodic entertainment and experimental interaction.

From spatial content to virtual commerce

Prologue Immersive also developed Spatialand, a VR interface and spatial content creation platform. The technology became an independent venture and was acquired by Walmart’s Store No. 8 incubator in 2018, extending its development into virtual commerce.

Subsequent spatial computing research continued through Kimber Cooper’s later venture, INTERVRSE. Prologue Immersive’s standalone website ceased operating, while its history and portfolio presence became part of the wider Prologue network’s websites.
