VR-Enhanced Virtual Events

In a post lockdown world, virtual conferences are expected to remain in place as a more sustainable and accessible way of connecting audiences, building lasting connections, and sharing information.

With travel restrictions and work-from-home policies introduced to keep employees safe, the events industry was forced to pivot to digital alternatives—with many teams having to shift to platforms like Zoom and Microsoft when working remotely. Although these platforms can function as accessible solutions for team meetings and client calls, their limitations become more clear with events on a larger scale. While restrictions have begun to lift and larger gatherings are permitted, Igloo Vision understands that for the foreseeable future, the events industry will look much different than before, and restrictions could be implemented on an ongoing basis if more COVID-19 cases arise. In addition to impacting major conferences, brand activations, pop-ups, PR events, and more will have to find alternative solutions to engage audiences in a meaningful way.

To make virtual and hybrid events more immersive, Igloo Vision has expanded its services to help its clients meet their goals at an affordable rate. In addition to being a fraction of the cost of its competitors, Igloo Vision offers more than a simple video conferencing platform—instead integrating Shared VR applications and technologies that help to illustrate data and insights with more clarity. To suit each client’s specific needs, Igloo Vision is equipped to work with them to create a custom event that uses key technology to increase viewer participation, help presenters frame their information in an innovative way, and learn more about their viewers. Depending on the type of event that a client wishes to create, as well as the restrictions that they have to be conscientious of, Igloo Vision’s team is able to deploy a wide range of components—ranging from its Shared VR structures that vary in size and shape, immersive video conferencing tools that are capable of connecting thousands of viewers at a time, or touch-free VR experiences that incorporate voice and gesture controls.

With offices in London, the US, Canada, and Australia, Igloo Vision is prepared to deliver custom events on a global scale, whether its clients are looking for immersive in-person experiences that allow for social distancing, a completely virtual event that brings attendees together from across the world, or one that combines both aspects.
