The Igloo story We’ve been developing shared immersive spaces for over a decade We take any digital content and put it in a shared immersive space that anyone can use. We design, develop and deliver immersive domes, cylinders, workspaces, custom-builds, and the Igloo Immersive Media Player that powers them all. And we’ve developed a full suite of software that makes it super-easy to engage with any immersive content. And because groups of people can get inside an Igloo space, it’s always a shared experience. So it’s perfect for experiences and events. And it’s ideal for collaborative teamwork and training.

We can work with any type of digital content - that includes content originally designed for a VR headset, including 360° images, 360° video, and game engine-based content. So you overcome the solitary nature of a VR headset and can share the immersion with whole groups of people. And it’s a more comfortable experience for those who don’t get on with headsets for whatever reason.

Explore collaboration Where we come from We started out on the festival circuit in 2007, founded by a group of technically-minded, Shropshire-based dance enthusiasts who wanted to create the ultimate party venue. Those founders, realising that the projection systems at the time were prohibitively expensive, developed their own software to fill domes with seamless 360° projections. It wasn’t long before festival-goers with a corporate background saw the potential for other use cases. The festival work was supplemented by several small-scale corporate events. Then a dramatic change in pace came with large-scale projects for clients such as Sky, Toyota and UKTI. In the early days, we attracted investment from a pair of tech entrepreneurs who provided seed investment and business direction. Then, in 2012, we secured investment from Midven, the midlands-based venture capital firm. And in 2019 and 2020 we completed further funding rounds, raising capital under the UK Government’s Enterprise Investment Scheme. (And, if you’d like to learn more about investment opportunities, check out our Investor Relations page). Headquartered in Shropshire in the rural UK, we now also have offices in London, the US (New York and Los Angeles), Canada (Toronto), and Australia (Melbourne). Where we're going - Clun Valley to Silicon Valley As time went on, we worked on more-and-more permanent installations for clients across the world, enterprise and education alike. And our technology, software and products became ever more expansive and sophisticated. Early in 2020, we launched the immersive workspace alongside our new distribution partners in the US, AVI-SPL. It was a timely development - immersive workspaces were being touted as a technology CIOs should be investigating by Gartner. And NTT highlighted ‘phygital spaces’ in its predictions for 2020 technology. It showed us that we’re on the right path. Shortly after, we launched the Igloo Immersive Media Player - we packed the power of Igloo immersive technology into a sleek, sophisticated, standalone unit. This particular innovation means that anyone can equip any space with Igloo immersive technology to create huddle rooms, innovation hubs, CAVEs, retail installations - and much more. We now count among our clients the likes of Microsoft, Accenture, NTT, PwC, BP, and many more, who are all using Igloo immersive technology to work faster, smarter, and safer. And we’ve installed Igloo immersive spaces in over 30 universities, colleges, and schools across the world - that number is constantly growing. Want to become part of the Igloo story?
