Immersive Spaces are pedagogically designed environments that offer users a holistic and immersive learning experience and the opportunity to encounter the learning environment in a new, unique way. These spaces combine visual and auditory elements, and upon the customer's request, elements such as scents, which together create a powerful and memorable experience. This immersive experience transports users to an entirely new environment, enriching learning and deepening understanding.
An Immersive Space is based on technology where virtual environments (including VR environments) are projected onto walls and the floor. The virtual environments are ready-made simulations or custom-produced, for example using 360° images and videos. Nearly 10,000 ready-made simulations are available and can be used as-is or customized to fit specific needs. Creating entirely new content has also been made user-friendly and effortless.
Various interactive elements can be added to the virtual environments, such as buttons, quizzes, timed events, or escape room-style time-limited tasks that make learning and participation even more engaging. The space is suitable for both individual and group work, and its accessibility makes it ideal for all user groups.
Using an Immersive Space is extremely simple: it starts with a single button, and control is done via a tablet, for example, which can be used to select and manage the content projected in the space. The space allows screen sharing from a computer, enabling direct participation in Zoom calls, sharing news, or displaying other web content to users. This integration ensures all necessary resources and tools are readily available in the same environment, increasing the space's flexibility and versatility in various learning and working situations.
The space is very easy to use and can be controlled with a tablet, for example.
A Holistic, Multi-Sensory Experience
Immersive Spaces offer holistic, multi-sensory experiences where visual elements projected on walls and floors, combined with carefully designed soundscapes, create a deep and authentic-feeling environment. In these spaces, users are not merely observers — through interactivity, they become active participants, strengthening a sense of involvement and deepening the experience further. A narrative context or meaningful theme adds layers to the experience, whether it's a learning environment, art installation, or virtual game. This combination of immersion and interactivity makes the space impactful and memorable, enriching users' experience in a unique way.
In an Immersive Space, safety training can be conducted where participants observe the space for hazards.
Opportunities Across Different Fields
Immersive Spaces have opened new possibilities across various fields, offering innovative solutions that enrich learning. In education, these spaces enable realistic simulations and practical training in a safe, controlled environment, deepening the learning experience and preparing students more effectively for the demands of working life. This is particularly valuable in vocational education, where practical skills and applying theory play a central role.
In social and health care, for example, Immersive Spaces can create calming or activating environments that promote patient well-being as part of the care pathway. Additionally, these spaces and environments can provide simulated situations where patients can practice everyday challenges before discharge, easing their transition back to daily life.
An Immersive Space gives users the opportunity to observe different situations and practice procedures safely. In social and health care, for example, students can experience and practice situations they would normally encounter only during internships or in working life.
