The shared immersive space company
Welcome to Igloo
We design and develop the technology to run shared immersive spaces.
And we enable clients to choose the type of immersive space that’s right for them.
You could choose an off-the-shelf structure, come to us for a custom build, or ask us about transforming an existing room.
With over 15 years' experience in the immersive technology sector, we don't know of any companies that have worked with more clients, in more industries, to deliver more installations in more countries.
2019
Backed by further funding rounds,
we launched our own software suite which enabled users to get even more use out of their immersive spaces.
2007
We started out on the festival circuit, founded by a group of technically-minded, dance enthusiasts who wanted to create the ultimate party venue.
2014
With secured investments, a growing number of employees and several corporate projects under our belt,
Igloo started to make waves in the immersive tech industry.
2018
By 2018 our product revenue had overtaken our events sales, so we invested heavily into software R&D and made a start on making our own suite.
2020
We launched the immersive workspace - a timely development as immersive workspaces were being touted as a technology CIOs should be investigating by Gartner.
2022
Work was underway to consolidate our software suite into an even better offering, launched in 2023 as Igloo Core Engine - the software platform for immersive spaces.
2024
After a successful launch of Igloo Core Engine, we picked up multiple awards
for both the software platform and our product offering as a whole, showing the strength and popularity of the immersive space to this day.
Businesses around the world are investing heavily in XR/3D/360° digital content. But typically,
they only have two ways to view
it – both of which have big issues and consequences:
The problem
we solve
Issues
It’s a solitary, disembodied experience
– which many people find uncomfortable
Consequences
Unsuitable for collaboration, instructor-led experiences, or the use of real-world tools
Issues
The spatial dynamics of the content are
lost – along with any sense of presence
Consequences
The very rationale for using XR/3D/360° content is undermined
VR Headsets
Flatscreens

in a shared environment.
Igloo sets the content free
What makes an igloo?
Every Igloo is powered by Igloo Core Engine which is easy to use, so that anyone can get started.
It works with any display technology.
Our aim is to enable clients to view and interact with any digital content, in any format, from any source,
with little need for reconfiguration.
We offer a range of products and solutions to suit every possible need. From off-the-shelf structures to
state-of-the-art retrofitted rooms with all the added AV extras.
The Igloo philosophy is any content, in any format, from any source

Igloo Core Engine lets you bring in and interact with your own 360, VR and immersive media to any space.
What do clients use Igloos for?

Transport students to faraway locations, host virtual field trips,
and create an engaging learning environment, in a way that suits every learner.

Engagement

Collaboration
You can involve remote colleagues through video conferencing and even VR and metaverse collaboration platforms.
Simulation
Create 360°, repeatable simulations for training to improve safety, save money and experience hazardous situations in a risk-free way for immersive and engaging training and onboarding.
Visualisation
Take clients through 3D, CAD,
CGI or BIM content, or use 360° films and fly-throughs to visualise spaces and reduce errors.
There are five ways to work with Igloo
We believe every organisation ought to benefit from shared immersive spaces.
So, we make them easy to specify, buy install, and operate.
