A guide for anyone looking to create a shared immersive space

When looking to create a shared immersive space, there is SO much to consider. Thinking about what kind of space you have, what kind of space you…
It’s long been the case that you can take your Unity project and put it in an Igloo - we’ve developed our own plugins that make it possible to view Unity-based applications, games, and more. It’s especially useful for clients who have built their own Unity projects and applications. They can set free those projects from desktops or headsets and allow their teams to step right inside.
So we’re ever-so-pleased to share that we’re now a Unity Channel Partner. It’s good news, particularly for clients in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, as it becomes easier for them to access their visualisations in an immersive, collaborative environment.
And, with our new Igloo Unity Reflect Viewer, you can now take all the power of Unity Reflect and access it in a shared immersive Igloo space.
Unity Reflect is a powerful new tool for anyone who works with Building Information Modeling (BIM). It allows you to see and interact with your BIM models in real-time 3D, with all their meta-data, while maintaining a live link between them.
Plus, it provides out-of-the-box support for Revit, Sketchup, Navisworks and Rhino models so, whenever you make changes to those models, they are automatically updated in Unity Reflect. Multiple designers and engineers working on different systems in one model can bring their data sets into the same Unity Reflect project. Everyone is collaborating in real-time, meaning they can make better decisions faster.
By using the Igloo Unity Reflect Viewer, whole groups can get right inside all those models in Unity Reflect. Designers, engineers, and stakeholders from every stage of the project can collaborate face-to-face in a shared immersive space, with no barriers.
It’s available now for all Igloo clients - so, if you’re looking to make your design reviews more collaborative and productive, be sure to get in touch.
