Immersive video lets people experience a place from anywhere in the world. They take in its atmosphere, scale and context as though they were standing in it.

It is built for consultation, briefings and public communication around land-based projects.

Where it adds value

Taking the site to a wider audience

Immersive video brings the experience of a site visit to trustees, funders, planning committees or the public, wherever they happen to be gathered. It widens access while easing travel requirements, weather dependency and biosecurity risk.

Because viewers experience the landscape first-hand, the discussion that follows is better informed.

A 360° film is wrapped around a whole sphere, so you only ever see a slice of the frame — if it looks soft, raise the quality to 2160p or above in the player’s settings.Music: ‘What We Don’t Say’ by Scott Buckley, licensed CC BY 4.0.
In practice

Where the films get shown

Immersive 360° footage can be presented through virtual reality headsets, viewed on a desktop, or built into presentations and events. We shape the approach around how your audience will meet it: a single event, a touring roadshow, or online access people use from home. Filming is a separate commission with its own cameras, and can run on the same visit as a site survey, which saves a second trip to site.

However it is shown, everyone comes away having seen the same place.

  • Public consultation and planning engagement
  • Trustee and board briefings
  • Funder and donor communication
  • Conference and event presentation
  • Remote site familiarisation for project partners
  • Accessible alternatives to physical site visits
How it fits

How it fits with survey work

Immersive video adds an experiential layer to the work you already do, letting audiences connect directly with a landscape.

It strengthens consultation, stakeholder engagement and project transparency by giving people a way in, and a shared reference they can return to.
