So something like Total Perspective Vortex? [0]
Quote [1]:

> featureless steel box, barely big enough for one man to stand in.
> The hopeless victims stand in the Vortex, and are suddenly shown, for the merest instant,
> the whole of the Universe: the whole infinity of creation, spanning over several trillion
> light years, and countless millennia, with an insignificant dot saying "You Are Here".
