At Magnopus, Barron directed the VR tie-in to 2017's ''[[Blade Runner 2049]]''. Entitled ''Blade Runner 2049: Memory Lab'', the 30-minute VR production is set in the world of the film where users act as replicant android hunters. A review in UploadVR said the experience, "...manages to contribute somewhat to 2049's story without stepping on it, shedding more light on one of the film's central characters that gives the entire piece an even deeper sense of purpose."<ref>Feltham, Jamie.
