Tired of switching between countless applications and platforms to utilise your digital content…. Well what if you could bring it all together into one integrated and immersive space?

That innovative vision is not one from the future, it is here already with the Igloo Core Engine. This powerful software is the brains behind any immersive workspace, transforming it into a hub for all your digital assets. In this blog, we'll explore the seamless Igloo Core Engine integration capabilities and show you how it works in harmony with the systems and tools you already use every day.

Out-of-the-Box Integration: Ready from Day One

Say goodbye to the usual complexity of building an immersive experience. The Igloo Core Engine is designed for immediate use with a vast array of digital content and tools that businesses already rely on. This removes the need to patch together different technologies, offering a truly self-contained ecosystem.

From the moment it's set up, you can bring in content from a huge range of sources, including:

  • Immersive Content: The engine is fully compatible with 3D, 360°, and XR content. This includes assets from popular game engines, detailed models from 3D design software, and complete immersive training programs.
  • Web-Based Platforms: Display live content from popular web platforms your teams use daily. This includes virtual tours from Matterport, locations from Google Street View, generative AI applications, WebGL sites, and YouTube 360 videos.
  • Everyday Office Tools: This is where collaboration comes alive. You can seamlessly integrate and work with familiar software like PowerPoint, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and the Adobe Creative Cloud. Imagine presenting your slides or spreadsheets on a 360° canvas, surrounded by your data.

The Magic of a Layer-Based System 

So, how is it possible to use so many different types of content at once? The answer lies in Igloo's clever layer-based system…

Think of it like working with layers, as each piece of content - be it a 360° video, a live webpage, a video conference feed, or a presentation - occupies its own independent layer. You can display, move, resize, and interact with each layer without affecting the others. This gives you the incredible flexibility to create a truly dynamic digital environment, showing multiple sources of information simultaneously.

Deeper Integration with the Igloo Core Engine API

For businesses that require a more customised setup, the Igloo Core Engine API is the key to unlocking even deeper integration. The API (Application Programming Interface) acts as a secure bridge, allowing the Core Engine to communicate flawlessly with your other business-critical platforms.

This enables powerful connections with enterprise-level applications and sophisticated room control technologies. What was once a major technical hurdle becomes a refreshingly straightforward and customisable setup. For those needing the most profound level of integration with their corporate systems, the "Enterprise" software package provides the ultimate toolset. This includes the software in the ‘Essentials’ package but also brings greater levels of immersion, with more display options and the ability to control external devices.

A Unified Future for Your Digital Content

Igloo Core Engine is a powerful software that streamlines the entire process, creating your vision from a single, all-in-one unit. It's designed to be universally compatible, so whether you're using LED walls, complex CAVEs or standard projectors, the setup is always straightforward. This removes the need to patch together different technologies, offering a truly self-contained ecosystem. For ultimate customisation, the built-in API allows you to deeply integrate the system with your company's own software and room controls, making even the most advanced setups incredibly simple to manage.

If you use a specialised piece of software that wasn't mentioned above, don't worry. Igloo Vision is committed to flexibility and meeting customer needs. The team is constantly expanding the software's capabilities and can work with you to add new applications to their development roadmap.
