Igloo for education

Share the benefits of immersive technology - with the whole class

Across the world, universities, colleges and academies are deploying Igloo's shared immersive classrooms and spaces in several ways and for several applications, across every level of education.

Users are finding that an Igloo is a more affordable and elegant solution, that is flexible, content-agnostic, easy-to-use, easy-to-adapt and benefit-rich.

An Igloo immersive classroom has a huge range of benefits for all sorts of departments.

Taking virtual field trips

Take trips through time and space, without leaving the classroom

Simulation research

Measure reaction times and understand decision-making processes

Making VR accessible and inclusive

Get staff and students familiar with VR through an easy-to-use 360° platform.

Design visualisations

View and adapt 3D or BIM designs and models in an immersive group setting.

Simulating hazardous environments

Rehearse emergency procedures in lab or factory environments, so students learn to effectively assess risk.

Enhancing game development

A collaborative way to create and review VR gameplay.

Showcasing student content

From 360° film to game design in Unity and Unreal, critically assess and present without headsets.

Open day and campus engagement

Promote your facilities to potential students by taking the campus to them.

Going beyond the VR headset

Many educators have incorporated virtual, augmented, or mixed reality into their teaching and research.

And that's no surprise - they've been shown to improve retention. They can give students a way to safely practise dangerous (and expensive) scenarios, without risking the disastrous consequences that would ensue in the real world. And they can transport students to locations they could only dream of otherwise.

With an Igloo immersive space, you get all those benefits - and the whole class gets to experience them too.

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."

Kirsty Hughes

Assistant Principal, Hunningley Primary Academy

Use an Igloo in a specific department, or across the whole campus at every level of education

While some institutions install Igloo shared immersive spaces and classrooms in specific faculties, others make them centrepieces of their libraries and tech hubs, so they can be used by any department, at every level of education. Our immersive spaces are also an attention-grabber for visitors, and a selling-point for potential students.

The Igloo software allows you to work with an incredibly wide variety of content, from 360° videos and images, to web-based content, to interactive VR games built with tools like Unity and Unreal, to all sorts of industry-standard tools. So, whichever department you're in, you'll find uses for Igloo.

Providing the focal point for a Digital Scholarship Lab

Since its installation, MSU’s staff and students have used the Igloo in many ways. English students have created immersive presentations on graphic novels using Google Slides. Interior design students can review 360° visualisations of classroom layouts and analyse them for safety in an active shooter incident.
