When you decide to step into the world of shared immersive technology, the first question is usually: “Which structure do I actually need?”

At Igloo Vision, we offer two primary types of immersive spaces- Cubes and Cylinders. While both provide a powerful, shared experience without the isolation of headsets, each is engineered with a specific geometry to suit different professional needs.

To help you decide, here is a clear guide to our structures and how to find the perfect fit for your goals.

1. The Igloo Cylinder: The Versatile Multi-Tasker

Cylinders were developed specifically because our clients needed a "best-of-both-worlds" solution. They offer the deep immersion of a dome but are built to be totally practical for the modern workplace. It is no surprise that these have become our most popular and frequently used products.

• Best for: Collaborative visualisation, bid presentations, and high-impact exhibition stands.
• The Purpose: The Cylinder is the ultimate "workhorse" for professional teams. Because the walls are vertical, you get a clean, undistorted view of 360° video, complex data, and architectural designs. This makes them the most natural choice for meetings where data accuracy is vital.
• Choosing your size: Whether you choose the compact 5-metre, the industry-standard 6-metre, or the spacious 9-metre, the Cylinder is designed to fit under standard ceiling heights, making it the most flexible option for office installations.
• Key Advantage: We can provide "open-fronted" versions (180°, 220°, or 270°). These are particularly effective at events, as they act as a "theatre" that draws people in while still allowing for a shared, collaborative discussion inside.

2. The Igloo Cube: Compact and Focused

The Cube is our most intimate option, designed for when space is at a premium but presence is still essential.

• Best for: Small corporate offices, construction site offices, and mobile roadshows.
• The Purpose: In a Cube, you are "up-close and personal" with the content. This creates a strong sense of presence in a small footprint. It’s a great tool for detailed, one-on-one reviews of BIM (Building Information Modelling) data or small team huddles.
• Key Advantage: It is our most compact solution, fitting easily into corners of existing offices or inside portable containers.

Summary: Which one should you choose?

• Choose a Cylinder if... you want the most versatile, popular, and practical solution for your office or event. It’s the ideal choice for teams who need a high-performance space that integrates seamlessly into their existing workflows.
• Choose a Cube if... you have very limited space and need a dedicated, private spot for close-up data inspection.

No matter which structure you choose, every Igloo space is built for shared experiences. It’s about getting your team out of headsets and into a space where you can see each other, talk to each other, and move projects forward together.
