What our clients say

"The technology inspires innovation and gives students the potential to work in bleeding edge fields - that’s really quite precious for our potential graduates. The students are getting a very real experience of developing content on a very new platform and they’re all very excited and enthused by that.”

Dr Kate MacFarlane
Senior Lecturer in Computer Science, University of Sunderland

"I have been using the Immersion Room for teaching and have found it to be an excellent way of teaching. What I especially love is that we can change scenes quite rapidly, which we can't do ordinarily. So this has been a way to condense a lot of the learning content. Students are loving it, we're loving it!"

Kerrie Stockley
Lecturer, The University of Adelaide

“ICE has made the whole process of interacting with the space much more seamless and much more accessible for teaching and education. The True Perspective feature has been revolutionary in terms of enhancing imagery and media to make it feel more immersive and more real. We also like the dashboard feature and being able to create multiple dashboards for different departments so they can come into the space and instantly immerse themselves in their own domains.”

Aaron Saxton
Director of Disruptive Learning, UA92

"We are excited to be able to create a space that will encourage research and teaching around these cutting-edge concepts. This space will be an idea incubator for faculty and students from all over the University who are interested in exploring and integrating digital scholarship into their research and teaching.”

Terri Miller
Assistant Director for Public Services at MSU Libraries, Michigan State University

“This cutting-edge technology allows learners to experience a whole range of different workplaces and career opportunities without actually setting foot outside the campus. We are providing a learning environment fit not only for the remainder of the 21st century but looking ahead to the 22nd century.”

Jamie Watkinson
Head of Teaching, Learning, and Innovation, John Leggott College

"What makes me most proud that we have an igloo system in our school is that we know that when our students are engaged, they want to come to school. When they want to come to school, they’re learning, they’re invested in the process, and that’s exactly the kind of learning environment that we want to create for them."

Dr. Sara Heintzelman
Technology Integrations Specialist, Centennial School of Lehigh University

"We really like to work with the physical world and the virtual world and all the different technologies that enable the interactions between them. And I think that the Igloo is a really unique and useful piece of technology which does just that, which makes it a perfect fit for our programme."

John Alberse
Graduate Assistant, Texas A&M University

"The immersive room has had the biggest impact we've seen so far in terms of what the children understand about our curriculum and preparing them for the wider world. It's brought a sense of awe and wonder to the children and is a space they love working and learning in. It's brought quite a difficult curriculum to life for them and it's just overall enhanced all of the curriculum."

Assistant Principal, Hunningley Primary Academy
