Our state-of-the-art 360-degree domes represent a complete, all-in-one solution for delivering a powerful, simultaneous group Immersive Experience and Installation to your audience without the barrier of a virtual reality headset. These are highly effective for large-scale deployments at prestigious museums, major international expos, and high-traffic corporate brand events, providing a scalable form of Location-Based Entertainment (LBE). With our Imagineers’ combined mastery of immersive technology and high-definition content creation, we expertly advise and help you design a dome that genuinely engages and 'wows' your audience. This premium effect is achieved via a colossal, crystal-clear 360-degree projection screen showcasing inspiring, ultra-high-definition content perfectly synchronised with a multi-channel 360 degree soundscape, delivering a truly profound and scalable immersive experience that leaves a lasting commercial impression.

These can range from meticulously built physical sets that are then integrated with spatialised Virtual Reality (VR) content, to dynamic interactive touch screens and bespoke Augmented Reality (AR) installations that drive audience participation. The strategic possibilities for Experiential Marketing are genuinely boundless, restricted only by the ambition and imagination of your marketing strategy. We collaborate with you to define your core objectives and then deliver a powerful, memorable event that secures media coverage and dramatically enhances your brand's prestige.

The luxury hospitality sector is strategically leveraging Immersive Experiences and Installations to profoundly differentiate their services and secure premium bookings. Instead of static imagery, we design and install elegant, permanent Interactive Exhibits in lobbies or exclusive dining areas that showcase the history, local culture, or future vision of the brand. This might involve a Projection Mapping display over the reception desk that dynamically changes with the time of day, or a bespoke, sensor-driven phygital installation within a high-end restaurant, engaging guests with the journey of the ingredients. These carefully curated, location-based physical installations elevate the ambiance of the property, transforming a simple stay into a unique, luxurious, and memorable experiential journey. A truly engaging, interactive lobby installation serves as a powerful, shareable point of interest, encouraging social media engagement and driving the perceived value of the location.
For high-value residential and commercial property developers, our Immersive Experiences and Installations provide a crucial, sophisticated competitive advantage in sales centres. Buyers and investors need to viscerally understand the scale and quality of a property before committing. We create bespoke, permanent interactive exhibits and experiential installations that allow prospective clients to physically walk through a scale model while using Projection Mapping to show realistic material finishes, lighting changes, or future neighbourhood data. This form of Physical-Digital Activation enables a compelling and realistic evaluation of the property in real-time. This sophisticated presentation of complex design data drastically increases the chances of sealing a deal for luxury developments, offering an unparalleled level of detail and engagement that drives better return on investment (ROI).
The high-value transportation sectors rely on powerful emotional connections and visual demonstration. We design sophisticated Immersive Experiences and Installations for luxury showrooms and exhibition stands that command immediate attention. This includes creating interactive, large-format Projection Mapping displays that dynamically strip away the exterior of a new vehicle or aircraft to reveal the intricate engineering and luxury interior features beneath. These powerful physical-digital activations provide an X-ray vision of the product, captivating clients from the very first moment. This level of engaging, real-time visualisation saves invaluable time and strategically accelerates the high-stakes decision-making process for hiring or purchasing premium vehicles, cruise cabins, or bespoke aircraft, giving the client a profound and memorable immersive experience of the facility or product’s true quality.
Your business headquarters and corporate facilities offer a unique opportunity to demonstrate your brand’s innovation, culture, and capabilities to high-level visitors and potential partners. We are the leading Immersive Experiences and Installations Company that can design bespoke, permanent experiential installations for your reception areas, boardrooms, or innovation labs. This might involve a dynamic, sensor-driven interactive exhibit that visualises live company data or a panoramic LED wall showcasing your corporate history and future vision with stunning motion graphics. We craft a sophisticated, authentic, and technologically advanced feeling for your customers and stakeholders, ensuring a powerful, perpetual impression of your business as a forward-thinking market leader.
In the highly competitive health and wellness sector, attracting discerning clients requires a differentiating, high-end presentation. We help your luxury club stand above competitors by creating captivating, tranquil Immersive Experiences and Installations that demonstrate your superior facilities. This includes creating peaceful Projection Mapping installations in relaxation rooms to enhance the ambience, or developing interactive, motion-tracking physical activations in the fitness studio to guide users through personalised workout routines. By showcasing all the premium features, specialised equipment, and therapeutic ambience through unique, technology-driven immersive installations, you provide a powerful emotional incentive that helps a prospective, high-value customer choose your club as the elite option in town.
Modern medical and hospital facilities possess a wealth of expensive, cutting-edge equipment and specialised departments that the public is often unaware of, but which build crucial trust. As an expert Immersive Experiences and Installations Company, we design sophisticated, informative interactive exhibits and educational phygital installations for waiting areas and training centres. We can use large, interactive touch screens and subtle Projection Mapping to clearly demonstrate the use of expensive, modern medical equipment or the sterile layout of specialised operating theatres to a mass audience. By utilising this clear, technology-driven communication and these engaging immersive installations, you transparently win the crucial trust of the public and stakeholders, helping them confidently choose your hospital above others as a leader in patient care and technological advancement.
A Physical Immersive Experience and Installation is a bespoke, location-based environment that utilises a combination of physical elements, interactive technology (sensors, touchscreens, projection), and dynamic digital content to fully engage an audience’s senses and emotions. Unlike simple advertisements, these installations create profound, shared, and memorable experiences that are tied to a specific location (a retail store, a museum, a corporate lobby). The typical ROI for high-quality experiential installations is exceptionally high, primarily driven by four key metrics: Increased Dwell Time (longer engagement with the brand message), Media Amplification (content is highly shareable on social media, generating free PR), Data Capture (interactive elements collect valuable customer data), and Brand Affinity (the positive, memorable experience strengthens loyalty and willingness to purchase). They strategically transform passive consumption into active participation.
To deliver a cutting-edge Immersive Installation, we integrate a sophisticated suite of technologies that form the foundation of our phygital activations. Key technologies include Projection Mapping (to dynamically transform irregular surfaces), advanced Custom Sensor Integration (using LiDAR, depth-sensing cameras, or motion trackers for real-time audience interaction), Interactive Display Technology (large-format LED walls, touch kiosks, and transparent displays), Spatialised Audio (multi-channel soundscapes for complete sensory immersion), and Integrated Computing (high-performance rendering machines running software like Unity or Unreal Engine for real-time content delivery). This seamless fusion of physical and digital tools allows us to create responsive environments that genuinely react to audience presence and movement.
The project lifecycle for a large-scale Immersive Experiences and Installations is rigorous and divided into four phases to ensure flawless execution. Phase 1: Strategy & Concept involves in-depth consultation, defining the core business objective (e.g., brand launch, museum education), audience journey mapping, and creating initial concept art and technical wireframes. Phase 2: Design & Content Production focuses on 3D modelling the physical structures, high-fidelity content creation (video, animation, interactive code), and finalising the technical equipment list (projectors, sensors). Phase 3: Integration & QA involves pre-build setup in our UK studio, system integration testing (SIT), followed by the physical installation and final calibration on-site. Phase 4: Launch & Maintenance includes operator training, launch support, and crucially, our commitment to providing long-term technical maintenance and remote monitoring to guarantee continuous, reliable operation of the immersive installation.
While virtually any sector can benefit, the most significant impact from bespoke Experiential Marketing Installations is seen in sectors where high-value, emotional connection, and product demonstration are critical. This includes: Luxury Retail (using Retail Theatre to showcase products), Automotive (interactive displays for vehicle customisation), Cultural Heritage & Museums (engaging interactive exhibits to bring history to life), Corporate Innovation Centres (interactive data visualisation for B2B engagement), and High-End Hospitality (creating unique ambience in lobbies and bars). These environments rely heavily on creating “I was there” moments that drive social sharing and word-of-mouth marketing, making the Immersive Experience a primary lead-generation tool.
360-degree Domes and Projection Mapping are two distinct types of Immersive Installations with different applications. A 360-degree Dome is a controlled environment, an all-in-one solution designed to fully envelop a large group of people simultaneously in a custom, self-contained visual and audio narrative. It is ideal for scheduled shows, cinematic presentations, and creating a unified, headset-free immersive experience for a mass audience. Conversely, Projection Mapping transforms an existing, non-standard structure (a building, a car, a sculpture) into a dynamic screen. It is best suited for large-scale Brand Activations, architectural lighting, or high-impact, one-off launch events where the goal is to transform the physical environment itself into a public spectacle. The choice depends on whether the goal is total narrative immersion (Dome) or spectacular architectural transformation (Mapping).
For permanent Immersive Experiences and Installations, Immersive Studio prioritises long-term reliability through several core strategies. We only specify and install enterprise-grade, robust hardware designed for continuous 24/7 operation, mitigating hardware failure risks. All systems are equipped with remote monitoring software that allows our UK support team to perform diagnostics, update content, and resolve up to 80% of issues remotely and proactively, often before the client is aware of a problem. We provide comprehensive, bespoke Service Level Agreements (SLAs) covering both remote and on-site maintenance. This comprehensive support package ensures your premium immersive installation continues to operate flawlessly and maximises your return on investment over its lifetime.
The critical elements of a successful Physical-Digital Activation in retail are centred on seamless interaction, product integration, and clear conversion pathways. The activation must be genuinely easy to use, requiring zero training or instructions for the consumer. It must directly involve the physical product (e.g., scanning a shoe to see an AR overlay). Most importantly, the experience must provide a clear next step—for instance, an interactive installation that allows the user to customise a product and instantly sends the final configuration to their mobile phone or a sales assistant’s tablet, seamlessly bridging the immersive experience to the point of sale. This integration ensures the phygital installation is a valuable sales tool, not just a gimmick.
We manage international immersive projects through a flexible, centrally coordinated delivery model. Creative and technical work—including 3D content, software development, and system testing—is led by our team of experts in the UK to ensure consistent quality. For on-site delivery, we either work with clients to appoint suitable local installation partners or travel internationally to deliver and oversee the installation ourselves, providing a single point of accountability throughout the project.
Measuring the ROI of a high-value Immersive Installation requires tracking both quantitative and qualitative metrics. Quantitative metrics tracked via integrated sensor technology and embedded code include: Audience Count (total unique visitors), Dwell Time (average time spent interacting), Engagement Rate (percentage of people passing by who stop and interact), and Data Capture Rate (number of email sign-ups or downloads). Qualitative metrics include Social Media Reach (tracking a unique campaign hashtag), Media Value (PR coverage generated), and Sales Uplift (comparing sales in the installation’s location versus control locations). The success is defined by how well the installation met the original strategic goals set in Phase 1: Strategy & Concept, such as increasing foot traffic or capturing a specific volume of qualified leads.
