Since 1994, Immersion has been supporting companies and institutions in their transformation through immersive and collaborative technologies. Here’s how these tools are revolutionizing design, collaboration, and production in various sectors.
Immersive and collaborative technologies have profoundly transformed innovation processes in many sectors. As experts in the field, we see every day how these solutions accelerate development cycles, improve collaboration, and optimize decision-making.
Let’s take a look at some use cases and customer stories:
- Accelerated design and prototyping
- Optimized collaboration and decision-making
- Innovative training and teaching to transform learning
- Advanced research and development: pushing the boundaries of R&D
- Industrial and technical applications: process optimization
1- Accelerated design and prototyping
Renault Design: informed decision-making in automotive design
For Renault Design, innovation is not an option, it is a goal. Virtual Reality allows designers to visualize models, project themselves into them, and distinguish the smallest details of a vehicle as if it were real. All these functions come together in one solution: the immersive room. Here, the immersive room named Harley Earl allows teams to visualize 1:1 scale vehicle models with unparalleled precision. Designers can appreciate the smallest details, from the curves of a fender to the nuances of a color, as if the vehicle had already been produced. This allows them to explore more hypotheses and make faster and more accurate decisions about vehicle design, thereby reducing development cycles. In this space, simplicity and performance come together for a striking result.
ArcelorMittal: strengthening digitalization
ArcelorMittal a investi dans sa transformation digitale en créant des Digital Labs à Dunkerque et Uckange, équipés de salles immersives et collaboratives et de solutions de réalité mixte. Ces espaces – équipés de Shariiing – sont de véritables vitrines du savoir-faire de l’industriel et ont aussi la mission de former ses collaborateurs, faire évoluer leurs méthodes de travail et de dynamiser le territoire. Les Digital Labs sont des lieux d’expérimentation et de concrétisation de projets. Le Lab permet de fertiliser le territoire, d’y lancer une nouvelle dynamique et de le rendre attractif. Il représente une véritable source de fierté pour l’entreprise et redonne espoir et ambition.
2- Optimized collaboration and decision-making
Singulair: renewable energy management
Collaboration and Virtual Reality: How does Singulair, a global expert in wind turbine blade control, use its control center to facilitate decision-making both on-site and remotely? Singulair uses an immersive and collaborative control room to visualize and analyze data in real time. Originally designed as a showroom, this space has become much more than a promotional tool; it has evolved into an operations control center. This technology facilitates collaboration between teams and enables faster and more accurate decision-making, even remotely.
Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology: visualization of complex data
Visualize and analyze data. Share it, connect it, give it meaning. With this in mind, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) has set up a giant touchscreen image wall, one of the largest in Europe. This system, combined with the Shariiing solution, allows researchers to share, annotate, and aggregate information in a fluid and intuitive way to facilitate interactive visualization of large-scale data. The touchscreen wall and the entire immersive system installed are proving their worth on a daily basis. They facilitate data management and exchange thanks to Shariiing.
3- Innovative training and teaching methods to transform learning
Junia: transforming higher education
Junia Bordeaux, an engineering school, has invested in our immersive and collaborative solutions to meet the challenges of higher education. With Studiiio and Shariiing, Junia has developed an innovative teaching approach that allows students to take control of their learning, collaborate more effectively on complex projects, and better understand technical concepts. Delivering a hybrid course, hosting a remote conference, organizing an in-person educational meeting. These are three concrete use cases tested by this school.
Adour Training Center – UIMM: reinventing technical training
Teach differently. Reverse the roles. Immersive learning is much more stimulating. Learners become creators of their own training content. This makes it easier for them to absorb the information available to them. This new way of learning creates a need for technology. The Pôle Formation Adour training center is therefore relying on our virtual reality (VR) systems and collaborative solutions: Meetiiim touch tables, Shariiing screens, and an immersive device to make its training courses more attractive and effective. The Pôle Formation Adour training center is enhancing technical training courses through virtual reality and collaborative technology.
International School of Monaco: active and collaborative teaching methods
In its quest for excellence for its students and teaching staff, the International School of Monaco has incorporated an immersive classroom equipped with our Shariiing solution, promoting student engagement and autonomy. The aim is to enrich teaching practices and promote active and interactive learning. Today, the immersive classroom is an integral part of the ISM learning cycle. Teachers use it to offer targeted, visual, and interactive activities. Shariiing is appealing both for its ergonomics and its practical applications in a school setting.

4- Advanced research and development: pushing the boundaries of R&D
IRISA, the Institute for Research in Computer Science and Random Systems, is working on how to navigate virtual data. Its tool of choice is the CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) installed on the university campus. This space offers the possibility of immersing oneself in a completely virtual environment and interacting with it. IRISA entrusted us with the modernization of its CAVE. This immersive system, measuring 9.6 meters wide, allows researchers to immerse themselves in virtual environments to visualize and interact with complex data. Thanks to the very high resolution of the projected images, this complex immersive system is now being used for new areas of research and new users, such as artists. And the immersive system benefits more people without compromising its performance.
5- Industrial and technical applications: optimizing processes
Régaz-Bordeaux: optimizing gas network management
The Régaz-Bordeaux Conduct and Safety Office is responsible for managing gas emergencies, dispatching, and operating the public distribution network. Régaz-Bordeaux made the strategic decision to invest in an innovative collaborative solution, Shariiing, to improve its operational performance. This technology enables greater responsiveness and optimized network management. With Shariiing, Regaz Bordeaux has deployed a smart control room designed to centralize information, facilitate real-time collaboration, and enhance the responsiveness of its field teams.
