Hot on the heels of Becoming Steve Jobs, the exhaustive book by Brent Schlender, which brought news that Apple CEO Tim Cook offered Jobs a piece of his liver, comes Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine, a documentary that premiered Saturday at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin.

Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a real documentary about Apple’s complicated co-founder before now. Given the disaster that was the 2013 Ashton Kutcher biopic Jobs, there hasn’t even been a real meaty movie on the man yet (if you don’t count the cult favorite 1997 TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley).

Here’s what happens when you step inside: your actual surroundings transform. You find yourself on a basketball half-court. At first, the walls around you are white as the THX 1138 set. But then those walls come to life. Suddenly, you’re surrounded by a realistic-looking crowd, because the walls are actually massive LED displays.

But wait, there’s more: The floor beneath you morphs into parquet. Which arena’s parquet? It depends what you selected while you were waiting in line. On wall-mounted iPads outside the scene you choose a scenario, and two of them are storybook moments from Jordan’s career.
