Igloo visualisations bring your architectural, engineering, and construction design concepts to life.
If you create 3D, CAD, CGI or BIM content, use 360° films or fly-throughs, or want to show clients or stakeholders how your finished concepts will look and feel, Igloo is a fully-immersive, highly-engaging, surprisingly-affordable visualisation platform.

Our flexible systems give you the freedom to use the tools you are already familiar with in your everyday workflows.
Even when working with very large BIM models, encompassing thousands of rooms and sophisticated mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), the Igloo system handles it without breaking a sweat.
Meanwhile, our straightforward, easy-to-use software means that you don’t need onsite technical support, or even to be that proficient with CAD. Instead, you get immediate value from your Igloo investment. And, of course, if you ever need help or guidance, our technical support team is only ever a phone call away.
With a wraparound 360° horizon, our projection cylinders are an ideal visualisation tool. Unlike many BIM caves or cubes, Igloos don’t have corners, so don’t suffer from annoying distortions. And, in contrast to flat or curved-screen systems, you can step right inside your visualisations.
It is easier and more intuitive to understand spatial dynamics, including scale, shape, location, distance and direction. Information can therefore be assimilated more quickly and effectively.
Igloo eliminates the need for team members to huddle uncomfortably around a single screen. Instead, they can collaborate and interact more easily, drawing each other’s attention to details and taking full advantage of the so-called field of regard (FOR).
An entire panoramic, 360° image can be displayed. So instead of being preoccupied or distracted by a portion or selective view of the data, it can be seen and comprehended in its entirety.
With a huge screen area, it is possible to display and integrate various types and sources of information (such as icons, windows, text boxes, and glyphs). So a variety of information can be assimilated and cross-referenced more quickly and effectively.
Igloo software is built for ease-of-use and stability. It’s easy to start (just two clicks from your desktop) and operate. And you will quickly learn how to get the best from it.
Igloo Control makes everything easy to use. Drag-and-drop a variety of content into a clip bank so anyone can operate your Igloo immersive space. Loop videos and make playlists.
Igloo Warper is the core program for displaying content in the Igloo Shared VR system for simulations, visualisations and experiences.
Igloo Web is a fully-functioning 360° web browser designed for your Igloo immersive space. Embrace the internet in 360° and bring any webpage or web-based app into your Igloo space.
Igloo Capture is content-agnostic and compatible with almost any content you could want to display, transforming meetings, presentations, training, education, and events.
“Located at the heart of the campus, our students and faculty now have access to a state-of-the-art facility that elevates our widely recognised strengths in the digital arts and humanities.”
"Even building professionals have a hard time visualizing something until they get to see it in an immersive situation like this, and then it becomes real."
“Previously it took a number of weeks working with the planners to help them understand how the buildings related to each other and related to the context, we had to do up a number of complicated views and spend a lot of money. Using this kind of technology we can agree that in five minutes.”
