FARGO, N.D. – Hector International Airport has unveiled the first-in-the-world immersive reality and sensory room – all in its operational terminal.
“We’re proud Fargo’s airport is the first in the world to offer amenities like our immersive reality and sensory rooms,” said Shawn Dobberstein, executive director of Hector International Airport. “These additions represent our commitment to providing innovative passenger-focused experiences right here in North Dakota.”
The immersive reality room uses technology from Immersive Reality USA. Travelers to the airport can step inside destinations like Buckingham Palace and Walt Disney World without needing any goggles. The 360-degree computer-generated imagery room allows individuals to explore more than 700 fully interactive environments before boarding their nonstop flights.
The new sensory room offers a calm, welcoming space for travelers, designed to support children on the autism spectrum and others with sensory sensitivities. The room includes comfortable seating, low lighting and the first bubble wall in a U.S. airport terminal. The bubble wall delivers calming visual stimulation to help individuals rest and relax.
