MR tech studio, Glimpse, has teamed up with ‘innovation destination’, Plexal, to open a VR/AR studio and workspace in London’s Olympic Park. The space offers 15 desks priced at £350pcm, with direct access to a large breakout area equipped with two Vives for playtesting. The facility aims to develop this area into a fully-fledged Mixed Reality studio over time.

The London 2012 Olympic Park will become home to organisations such as Loughborough Uni, UCL, V&A, Sadler's Wells, TFL, Cancer Research UK, British Council, and BT Sport are all moving here. The old venues are already open, including the old press and media buildings, now called Here East.

The new technology hub is being created by Claire Cockerton and her team at Plexal. Their COO,  Andrew Cunningham said, “VR is hugely exciting for content creators and innovators across so many industries and we’re only just starting to scratch the surface of what’s possible. Plexal is excited to be partnering with Glimpse Studio, which is on the cutting edge of the technology, and we share its aim of helping London become one of the destinations in the world for VR and AR.”
