Barco has teamed up with Igloo Vision, a creator of immersive spaces, to deliver shared VR experiences.
From its bases in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, Igloo Vision has delivered hundreds of immersive workspace installations around the globe for applications such as simulation, visualisation and collaboration.
The company builds its immersive spaces using an Igloo Vision Media Player, which features software that can turn any room into a shared VR experience. To visualise the content, the Igloo team works with system integrators and visualisation hardware providers, such as Barco.
Jake Rowland, Igloo Vision’s head of business development EMEA, said: “We had an interesting conversation with the Barco team during the ISE 2022 trade show in Barcelona about its shared VR visualisation solutions. We want to make our technology available to anyone around the world. In working with Barco, we expand our reach and make the shared immersive spaces easier to access and install.”
Richard Marples, Barco’s sales director immersive experiences, added: “Barco’s expertise with the high-end Canvas and CAVE systems strongly complements Igloo’s vision on shared VR experiences. Both companies have a strong focus on immersive visualisation and improving collaboration everywhere, so this is an ideal partnership.”
Since the tie-up, Barco and Igloo Vision have delivered workspaces for a leading sports brand and a renowned university.
