BT Launches First Of Its Kind Immersive Space

BT has launched Immersive Spaces which is the first 5G-enabled, interactive simulation experience in Northern Ireland.

The experience that simulate real-life environments is available to local businesses and public sector organisations across the country.

A roadshow is showcasing the innovative technology that is creating interactive immersive experiences and learning and development opportunities for sectors including education, healthcare, retail, transport, tourism, manufacturing, construction and sport.

The fully immersive rooms are connected to the EE mobile network, using cameras and HD projectors to bring 360° content to life across the space's walls and floor. Users can transport themselves into simulated environments by adding lights, sounds and even smells.


Any organisation can use the immersive space for training and development purposes.

Paul Murnaghan, Regional Director for Business, BT in Northern Ireland, said: "BT's ambition is to 'Connect for Good,' and this 5G-enabled Immersive Spaces technology, which is the first of its kind, really does show the power of connectivity for consumers and businesses as we continue to invest in our network in Northern Ireland."

David Salt, MD at Immersive Interactive Ltd, said: "The potential for immersive technologies is huge. Being able to interact with every surface of an immersive room, as well as enjoy additional sounds, smells and sensory effects, allows people to become truly submerged and virtually transported to new environments, as if they were experiencing the real thing. We are thrilled to be working with BT to bring this technology, with limitless potential, to businesses and consumers who can benefit from learning in a new, interactive way."
