The Immersive Cube

Focal Studios have developed a quick-to-deploy, walk-in shared immersive showcase space - the Cube - allowing customers to either programme their own short-form content into the experience, or develop an interactive experience with our in-house creative team.

A modular 360° projection cube designed for indoor deployment, the immersive space is best suited for clients who want to turn a product, campaign or learning idea into an experience visitors can enter.

  • The box is a freestanding projection environment built from modular aluminium framing and silicone-edged fabric graphics.

    Internally, white projection walls allow visitors to be surrounded by video, motion graphics, sound and spatial storytelling.

    Externally, the structure reads as a branded destination within your visitor environment.

    • Walk-in 360° projection simulation using four ultra-short-throw projectors

    • Touchscreen-led content selection

    • Brandable exterior graphics

    • Fast install using modular aluminium framing

  • A flexible format for education, technology, skills and impact stories.

    The cube is not limited to one kind of content. It can hold a polished brand film, a guided platform walkthrough, a short immersive theatre piece, an interactive product demo or an immersive brand or marketing campaign. The stronger the story, the more effective the room becomes.

    The immersive cube is especially well suited to partners working across education technology, digital infrastructure, STEAM & AI, and creative industries. It provides a way to demonstrate relevance and encourage engagement in a format that feels closer to an experience than a pitch.
