Our requirement is short term, and will help justify subsequent project work into immersive enterprise and technology decisions. Longer term commercial opportunities for immersive platform suppliers may result from this.

DVSA wants to explore the use of 360 degree video in creating a variety of engaging, immersive materials. This will help different parts of the organisation realise the potential of immersive technology to deliver better services.

So, the requirement is for an immersive platform solution that:

-> allows the import of 360-degree video (and other content)

-> enables non-technical professionals to easily create engaging materials based on the video

-> allows the immersive materials to be used on a variety of devices, locally or remotely

-> gives administrators the ability to grant access to single and multi-user sessions

-> includes cloud hosting

-> ensures privacy and security
