"We just shot a VR scene for 'Mr. Robot,'" Jeff Wachtel, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment chief content officer said Tuesday at Variety's aual TV Summit.

While specific plot details of the episode have yet to be revealed, Wachtel did say, "It's really about storytelling. It's intimate and about the characters."
