What our clients say

“Previously we took a number of weeks working with the planners to help them understand how the buildings related to each other, and it took about 6-8 weeks to agree the height of those buildings. Using this kind of technology, we can agree that in five minutes.”

Lendlease

"It’s been great. Igloo is there to support you every step of the way. The team is always coming in to show us different opportunities, whether that be new projector options or new software capabilities. It’s very much a collaborative experience."

Lanes Group

“There’s no point having all of this fabulous technology, these great tools and opportunities to engage people in immersive experiences if educators can’t use the software. Igloo Core Engine takes away all the difficulty, simplifying everything into one easy app where you’re able to create different sessions for different subject areas so everything is ready to go for immersive education.”

UA92

“Hosting meetings in this space 100% makes the meeting a better, more productive, collaborative meeting. Rather than people being huddled around a laptop or projector, you can view the whole project around you. So we’re seeing massive boosts in efficiency in those kinds of meetings. We've had design reviews booked in for eight hours and seen hours cut off that.”

AtkinsRealis

“The flexibility, dynamic deployment and low-cost nature of Igloo was an immediate attraction. The rapid repurposing of content into this environment, such as 3D Unity demonstrators, high definition 360° images from our assets and video from our Commonwealth and Olympic displays, has made it an even more attractive service."

BP

"When we have visitors from around the world come to our school and ask us, ‘why do you have this space?’, it’s an easy answer for us. It’s because we want to engage our students in their learning. We want to take them to places that otherwise wouldn’t be possible."

Centennial School

“We are seeing a number of benefits such as improved engagement and project buy-in for our operations colleagues, and more efficient, effective design rveiews with significant time and cost savings.”

Wessex Water

“Our students are inspired by the possibilities and have a desire to create and collaborate when they are in the Space. They feel extremely privileged to have this excellent resource at their college.”

Sunderland College

What do we do at Igloo?

We design and develop technology to run shared immersive spaces. And we enable clients to choose the type of immersive space that’s right for them.

With over 15 years experience in the immersive technology sector, we don't know of any companies that have worked with more clients and more industries to deliver more installations in more countries.

You could choose an off-the-shelf structure (like a dome, a cylinder, a cube, or a CAVE), come to us for a custom build, or ask us about transforming an existing room.

Every Igloo space is powered by our software, Igloo Core Engine.

It’s an operating system created specifically for shared immersive spaces – which makes it easy to create them, easy to operate them, and easy to benefit from them, leading to better decision making, saved time and money, decreased risks, improved processes, and increased efficiencies.

The great thing about Igloo Core Engine is that it works with almost any type of digital content. That includes 360° images, videos, and interactive apps (basically, anything created for a VR headset). It also includes all the software and tools you use everyday, like Powerpoint, Teams, web browsers, and much, much more.

There are five ways to get an Igloo space

We believe every organisation ought to benefit from Igloo shared immersive spaces. So, we make them easy to specify, buy, install, and operate. And we’ve developed five main options for clients to choose from.

01 Readymade Igloo solution

02 Use our software

03 Retrofit an existing room

04 Custom-built solution

05 Rent an Igloo space

Readymade Igloo solution

01

Buy a readymade Igloo solution

This is the option that most clients go for. It’s the quickest, cleanest, easiest way to install an Igloo immersive space. And it’s often the most impactful (because they look incredible).

You can choose from a range of fully productised cubes, full 360° cylinders, open-fronted cylinders, domes, and CAVES. And they’re available in lots of different sizes and configurations.

02

Use our software to power your own spaces

Clients and integrators often use our technology to create their own shared immersive spaces.

Depending on their use case, they might just buy Igloo Core Engine to create their own immersive spaces. And the reason they like Igloo technology so much is because it’s specifically designed to do one thing – i.e. to run flexible, practical, impactful, usable immersive spaces.

Retrofit an existing room

03

Retrofit an existing room

We can transform an existing room into a fully functioning Igloo immersive workspace. This can be a good option for high-end enterprise applications and executive suites.

Depending on where you are and what you want, we can provide a full design-and-install service, or work with your preferred AV integrator.

Custom-built solution

04

Commission a custom-built solution

Our standardised solutions meet the needs of most of our clients most of the time. But, every now and then, something extra-special is required.

Always happy to rise to a challenge, we work with architects, interior designers, integrators, facilities managers, technologist and innovators to create attention-grabbing solutions.

We started out on the events circuit, and we still operate a limited fleet of for-hire Igloo systems. They’re available for events and exhibitions or short-term installs.

Fully enclosed or open-fronted cylinders tend to be the preferred option. Domes are popular too. And we can provide our own Igloo technical teams to operate them, or provide guidance to your teams.

What makes Igloo different?

There are a few other providers of shared immersive spaces out there.

So, what makes Igloo different? Here are six of the things which, we believe, set us apart:

Infinitely flexible

Infinitely flexible

The Igloo mantra is any content, in any format, from any source. So, our spaces can be used for multiple use cases, and integrate with all the digital tools you already use.

Fit-for-purpose

Our technology is created specifically to power shared immersive spaces. So, our spaces are practical, impactful, usable.

Robust and enterprise grade

Robust and enterprise grade

With an Igloo space, all the functionality is handled by one box, running one stable, easy-to-use platform, which fits within the corporate IT envelope.

Easy to use

Easy to use

Igloo Core Engine was built with the needs of an everyday user of digital content in mind, people soon feel comfortable operating it, and we offer a choice of interfaces.

True to life

True to life

A real Igloo strength is a technology we call True Perspective, which displays an authentic 3D image, preserves sightlines, and stays true to spatial dynamics.

Suite of structures

Suite of structures

We offer a wide range of fully productised cubes, cylinders and domes, which tend to be the quickest, cleanest, easiest way to install an immersive space.

igloo can use any software

Any content, any format, from any source

You’ll find that Igloo Core Engine integrates, out-of-the-box, with all the digital content and tools you already use – including 3D, 360, and XR content, data analysis programs, web apps, and enterprise tools. You also get immediate access to a world of engaging web-based 360 content (including Matterport, Google Streetview, generative AI apps, WebGL sites, YouTube 360 videos, and more).

And, because it’s a layer-based system, Igloo Core Engine enables you to work with any digital content, in almost any format, from any source, all at the same time.

How we'll work with you

When you get in touch, we’ll take you through a consultative process where we learn about your needs for an immersive space, who’s going to use it, and what tools you need to work in it.

We’ll specify the ideal solution for your needs based on where you want to install it, and on the expertise we’ve amassed over the last decade.

Then, we install and configure every element of your new Igloo. Or, if you have a preferred integrator, we work with them to deliver your solution.

Next, we arrange training for you and your teams so that anyone can get started with using your new Igloo installation.

Our global customer support team is available for questions and advice, whatever your location and time zone. And we keep you up-to-date with the latest features so you're always getting the most out of your investment.
