The BIMA Immersive Technologies Think Tank was established to inspire, provoke and educate BIMA members and wider industry on the power and potential of immersive technologies.
We’re working to inform the national debate on how to create better immersive experiences and explores new ways to make immersive valuable. We do that by publishing industry-respected white papers and best practice guidelines, hosting events and building an ever-evolving suite of inspiring case studies.
