Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2019

An exciting and growing market

The immersive technology market is rapidly growing:

• IDC, the market intelligence company, forecast that VR and AR spending will reach US$160 billion (about £130 billion) in 2023
• PwC’s ‘Seeing is Believing’ report found that VR and AR have the potential to add $1.5trillion to the global economy by 2030

And our development of immersive workspaces and the Immersive Media Player taps into a new ‘phygital’ trend:

• The 2019 Gartner Hype Cycle For Emerging Technologies picks out immersive workspaces as a trend for technology CTOs to investigate
• NTT highlights ‘phygital’ spaces that blend the digital and physical worlds as a disruptive technology to watch in 2020
• Digital Reality (which consists of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), 360° video, and immersive technologies) is the next technology transformation, according to Deloitte

The Igloo immersive offering can give any company a shared immersive space to take advantage of these emerging transformations - and importantly, those spaces are easy to use by anyone in the business. So, we’re well-placed to take the market by storm.

A proven track record in this fast-moving market

• In 2020, we were featured as one of the UK’s fastest-growing private technology companies in The Sunday Times’s Tech Track 100
• We’ve sold to many of the world’s biggest brands, only ever held back by lack of investment
• Even during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, we raised additional capital - a clear sign of confidence in the strength of the Igloo proposition

We’re an established company that you can rely on for proven returns.

A content-agnostic, all-in-one platform

Unlike other providers of immersive spaces, our platform is specifically designed to take any digital content, in any format, from any source, and put it in a shared immersive space.

Whatever the project, we can fit right in.
