Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual Reality That Works in Reality
VR isn’t magic, but it is the most compelling and visceral medium out there. Used well, it can transport audiences, transform training, or turn complex ideas into lived experiences. Used badly, it’s just another headset gathering dust. We design VR that earns its keep.
We’re headset agnostic – so we’ll recommend the best device for your particular use. We’ve got experience with most of the top brands and know each of their quirks.
Our Approach
We don’t start with the headset. We start with your challenge. Sometimes VR is the answer, sometimes it isn’t – and we’ll tell you which. When it is, we bring 15+ years of creative and technical expertise to build experiences that last beyond the wow-moment.

Types of VR we provide
Visualise are a virtual reality (VR) agency. The types of VR we provide can be split into four main areas:
Interactive
Interactive VR allows the user to interact with the experience, turning them from a viewer into an active participant. You are transported to a fully immersive environment that you can (usually) freely explore, with six degrees of freedom. This means you can walk around bend down, look around, pick up, play learn, anything, it’s another world.
360º Video
360° video is one of the most powerful content formats in storytelling. It transports viewers to the centre of a narrative, giving them a highly immersive experience of a real-world event or fictional scene. Because major platforms like YouTube and Facebook support the format, 360º video is the most shareable form of VR content, with the potential to reach millions. You can read more about our 360º video production services here.
Volumetric Video/Photogrammetry
Volumetric VR uses real footage of people, places and objects to recreate the world in virtual space.
Studios equipped with arrays of cameras and sensors now make it possible to record full 3D performances. The result: digital humans and environments with genuine depth, already transforming film, TV and fashion productions.
It’s complex to capture and not cheap to produce – but for the right project, the impact is unmatched.
Live VR / 360º Streaming
You can live stream 360 cameras straight to VR headsets, allowing an uncapped number of people to watch an event like they were actually there too.
We have done this for music gigs, sports events and business conferences. We have a unique partnership with Meta Camera that allows us to stream these events in unrivalled quality.
Years of experience in VR
We’ve delivered over 100 VR experiences for brands including Facebook, Google, BBC, The Economist, Ford, Audi, Mercedes, Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross.
Unlike most, we have a roster of dedicated VR directors – specialists in immersive, 360° filmmaking.

A 360° journey into Malawi’s fight against rabies
“Our experience in partnering with Visualise in Malawi was exceptional from start to finish. They were not only superb to work with - reliable, agile, and great company - but they also delivered outcomes beyond what we’d hoped for. They repeatedly went the extra mile to support the charity and worked exceptionally hard to ensure we had a fantastic product at the end. I recommend Visualise without hesitation.”
