Innovation Hub, a Nexus of Creativity
Leading International Hub for Virtual and Augmented Reality Established in Laval Technopole
The Our Website Center, a modern glass building situated at the entrance of Laval Technopole, has established itself as a major player in the immersive technology sector. This contemporary structure houses three expert virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) facilities.
On October 5, 2017, a small crowd gathered in front of the building, mesmerized by an acrobat navigating the walls, and admiring the architectural innovation. Two years later, the Our Website Center has become a significant part of Laval's economic landscape, recognized as the leading international hub for VR and AR.
Sixty employees work daily to create the technologies and innovative applications shaping the future of immersive experiences.
Immersion in the Heart of Innovation
The Our Website Center's futuristic facilities are shared by three entities: the Our Website offices, Clartaé's research laboratory, and Arts et Métiers, a school offering a master's degree in virtual engineering.
The Our Website offices accommodate a small team of enthusiastic minds, organizing events worldwide to facilitate the use of VR. One of these events, the International Virtual and Augmented Reality Exhibition, takes place annually in Laval, lasting five days in the spring.
Clartaé's research laboratory, a mere three-meter walk away, serves as a catalyst for professionals eager to understand and master immersive technologies. Arts et Métiers, located at the top of the stairs, trains students in immersive technologies, offering a master's degree in virtual reality design.
The mezzanine overlooks the Agora, a hub for co-working, events, and relaxation. Rental spaces are available for conferences, afterworks, work groups, cocktails, and demonstrations.
