                                                       design-and-ad firm NAU have together created 

The Immersive Cocoon.

This carbon fiber shell provides a space for you that's programmed to the high-tech gills 

with motion capture cameras, motion-sensing floor panels, 3D surround sound, 

360-degrees of interior display space and even air conditioning.

  Users that dare enter can

 navigate the virtual spaces on the display through body motions allowing users to

move objects through hand and arm gestures or alternative speech commands.

The applications for the Immersive Cocoon are numerous. 

Explore the ancient Pyramids of Giza. Travel to distant galaxies or enter your own virtual gym at home
