How Much Is An Immersive Holo Projection Room For Shared VR- What does it cost?

The cost of creating an immersive room can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the space, the type and quality of technology used, and the complexity of the installation.

What do we recommend? Simply put, our platform (REX) enables high-end systems to become much more cost-effective. REX let’s you choose your construction, how you manage your content and ultimately how well your content and immersive room eventually performs.

It’s exactly why we designed it, costs below outline the kind of thing you will find across the industry, usually at the higher end- the difference is in functionality, no matter how high-end the equipment maybe, if all you are deploying is a 360 media player, over time you are going to want more- and that’s where REX comes in.

Below are some general estimates to give you an idea of potential costs:

Total Costs

• Small-Scale Setup: For a basic immersive room setup using consumer-grade VR headsets, standard projectors, and basic audio, the cost can range from £5,000 to £15,000.

• Mid-Range Setup: For a more advanced setup with high-resolution projectors, professional software, high-end PCs, and better audio systems, the cost can range from £20,000 to £50,000.

• High-End Setup: For a state-of-the-art immersive room with ultra-short throw projectors, high-end VR headsets, advanced haptic feedback, programmable lighting, and complex installation, the cost can easily exceed £50,000.

Additional Costs

• Content Creation: Creating custom content for the immersive room can add significant costs, depending on the complexity and quality of the content.

• Maintenance: Regular maintenance and updates can add ongoing costs.

• Customization: Highly specialized or customized installations will further increase costs.

Conclusion

The total cost of an immersive room can vary greatly depending on the specific needs and desired quality. It's essential to carefully plan and consider each component to ensure the setup meets the required standards and provides the desired immersive experience. Consulting with professionals who specialize in immersive technology installations can also help in accurately estimating and optimizing costs.
