I-Immersive strive to continuously perfect our Immersive Classroom solutions. Our unwavering commitment to excellence has resulted in significant advancements in the ClassView software, all while closely collaborating with educators and designing ClassView to meet their needs and pedagogy. We recognise the importance of simplicity in ensuring that teachers and lecturers feel comfortable using technology, whilst ensuring the Immersive Classroom is a seamless addition for IT and Estates Managers.

What exactly is an Immersive Classroom?

There are a lot of ‘Immersive Rooms’ out there, but ours is the only solution that focuses on connecting these spaces together to enrich the entire learning experience. If you want to deliver rich simulation environments or virtual reality content into your space and want to join up with another classroom for connected learning or shared teaching, then our immersive space is what you need.

The ClassView Immersive Classroom ensures consistency in the experience for all learners regardless of location. Everyone is connected over our unique ultra-high-definition video and audio network. This ensures the highest level of engagement and participation is achieved across all learners. It’s designed in a way where very little intervention is required by the teacher as everything is automated, so you don’t have to change the way the lesson is delivered. You can just focus on the curriculum rather than the technology

Our range of immersive connected classrooms are fully supported teaching spaces designed by I-Immersive, that seamlessly connects remote students to their physical classroom or learning space through video using our own ClassView software. I-Immersive provide the complete wrap around service from space scoping, design, project management installation through to training and onboarding.

Our Immersive Classroom solutions provide real-time video to spaces of all sizes, from small teaching spaces to HyFlex environments. With five state-of-the-art crystal-clear 86" QLED screens, students experience a true sense of immersion, whether they are physically present in the classroom or joining remotely through ClassView. The classrooms seamlessly blend together, creating an illusion of a "room without walls". Students can collaborate in real time and easily share content, enhancing their overall learning experience. The Teacher just has to walk in and teach, our ClassView teacher tracking camera follows the instructor around the room, while the virtual Microphone Mist technology captures audio from the entire space, allowing the lecturer to focus without any distractions enabling them to just "walk in and teach". 

Connected Immersive Spaces

With the continuous evolution of technology, we have taken our Immersive Connected Spaces to the next level. In addition to our standard Immersive Classroom, we have now installed many versions of the Immersive Classroom: Immersive Space XR, Immersive Space Ultra. We are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enrich the educational journey. By seamlessly integrating virtual reality and extended reality technologies, we foster an environment without boundaries, allowing for collaborative VR/XR experiences that truly captivate and immerse students in their learning.

Our connected immersive spaces support collaborative learning, XR, and VR delivery models, our ultra wide curved infinity wall takes the immersive classroom experience to new heights. With its seamless blend of technology and design, the curved infinity wall creates a captivating environment that enhances collaborative learning and supports the delivery of virtual reality and extended reality experiences. Imagine stepping into a classroom where the walls curve around you, creating a panoramic view that transports you to different worlds. This immersive setting allows students to fully engage with the content and actively participate in the learning process. Whether it's exploring historical landmarks, conducting virtual science experiments, or even practicing real-life scenarios in a safe environment, the curved infinity wall provides a unique and impactful learning experience. In addition to its immersive capabilities, the Immersive space Infinity curved infinity wall also supports collaborative learning. Students can work together on projects, solve problems, and share ideas in a virtual space that feels just as real as a physical classroom. With the integration of XR and VR technologies, students can interact with 3D models, simulations, and virtual environments, further enhancing their understanding and retention of complex concepts.

ClassView seamlessly merges the worlds of in-person and remote teaching.

Further education colleges, and universities have widely embraced our Immersive Classroom, especially during current times of teacher shortages, to connect campuses and expand teaching resources. With the ClassView software, educators can deliver collaborative immersive learning, effortlessly bringing in-room and remote students together. Our own design of Immersive Classroom fosters engagement and interaction among students whether joining from physically or remotely.
