Our take
Otherworld offer unique virtual reality experiences, accessed through a network of multi-sensory immersion rooms. The company developed Immersion Pod, a unique technology which integrates heat, wind, rumble and scent effects in real-time with the virtual environment in order to stimulate all the user’s senses.
Over 50,000 people have to date visited the Otherworld London venue. It was named Entertainment Venue of the Year in the Frame Awards 2020 and received a nomination for the VR Awards 2020. The VR market is set to be worth anything around $1.5 billion to $3billion globally by 2023, so there is huge potential for the company.
Since its launch, Otherworld has opened two more venues, looking to increase the UK footprint and to sign up international franchise partners.
