Inclusive and Seamless: A New INFR AI Experience With Igloo

INFR AI have always been looking into different hardwares and canvases to ease the communication gap between Architect, Engineer, and Construction (AEC) professionals and their clients. Our front running product - INFR AI LITE - is a succinct and an instantaneous tool for stakeholders collaboration and Building Information Modelling (BIM) interrogation.

We’ve recently integrated with Igloo Vision - a UK-based specialist in shared immersive spaces. With that, we have further improved the immersiveness of BIM visualisation experience by the masses.

“What excites us is that INFR AI not only makes it easy to bring BIM projects into the Igloo space but that it can connect people from outside to join the virtual model,” said Colin Yellowley, Founder and Managing Director of Igloo Vision.

“And that’s what Igloo immersive tech is all about, shared virtual reality for collaboration. It’s possible to get entire teams inside a model at once, and that means it’s easier to explain, it’s easier to communicate. And with INFR AI, it can add people outside the immersive space to join the virtual model. You can use VR headsets alongside your immersive space, or your immersive space alongside your headsets. It’s simple to get your BIM data VR-ready and connectable for anyone.”

Igloo Vision’s powerful immersive technology is already used by a number of AEC enterprises. The Igloo Immersive Media Player integrates out-of-the-box with a wide range of industry-standard 3D design, visualisation, coordination, and planning tools. This frees models from paper plans and computer screens. Inside Igloo's immersive space of seamless 180° walls, entire teams can walk around and manipulate a virtual model of their BIM projects.

“Igloo Vision brings out our vision of making BIM accessible. Igloo’s immersive technology makes coordination meetings much more interactive for all project stakeholders. It adds a whole new dimension to how we visualize BIM,” said Gong Yiwei, co-founder and CTO of INFR AI.
