To advance the future of immersive entertainment, Cosm delivers technology to heighten the live experience across sports and entertainment, science and education, and parks and attractions.
Its approach is to build "Shared Reality", where the virtual and physical worlds are brought together to make truly memorable moments. Its venues such as The Dome and The Hall are designed to offer more than just a seat, with immersive digital experiences built-in.
Cosm already boasts partnerships with the likes of the NBA, UFC and sports broadcasters including ESPN - suggesting that interest from the sports industry is high. The company also raised recent funding that will support the opening of new venues in places such as Dallas and Atlanta.
