How Metaverse911 built a 4K industrial 360° VR experience for Gandhi Automations — turning multi-country aircraft hangar deployments into an interactive sales asset for 30+ global aviation exhibitions, including UK trade shows from Farnborough Airshow to Advanced Engineering Birmingham.

Our 4K 360° VR walkthrough lets UK aerospace buyers stand inside a working hangar and look in any direction at full scale — deployed across 30+ exhibitions a year, in airport halls and convention centres on three continents.

When the Product Is Too Big for a Photograph

Industrial 360° VR is a 4K spherical-video experience that lets a buyer stand inside a working installation — a hangar, factory or shipyard — and look in any direction at full scale. Unlike a drone video, the buyer controls the gaze; unlike a CGI render, the environment is a real, deployed asset.

Gandhi Automations builds some of the largest aircraft and shipyard hangar doors across India, South-East Asia and the Middle East — engineering that a brochure cannot show. Metaverse911 was engaged to close that gap with an industrial 360° VR experience that scales across 30+ aviation exhibitions a year, including UK trade shows from Farnborough Airshow to Advanced Engineering Birmingham.

The Brief in Two Parts

A hangar-scale product needs a hangar-scale demonstration. Here's the gap we had to close — and how 4K 360° VR closed it.

01 — The Challenge: Selling Hangar-Scale Engineering Without Bringing Buyers On-Site

Gandhi Automations engineers some of the largest entrance systems in the world — sliding aircraft hangar doors and vertical-lift fabric hoists that span entire aviation facilities. But scale that big does not photograph well. A 60-metre hangar door reduced to a brochure image loses every dimension that makes it impressive: the wind-load engineering, the operational speed, the sheer presence on the tarmac.

02 — The Solution: A 4K Industrial 360° VR Walkthrough

Metaverse911 captured Gandhi Automations' marquee deployments across India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bali, Dubai and beyond in cinematic 4K 360° virtual reality. The result is a portable, exhibition-ready VR walkthrough portfolio that lets aerospace clients stand inside an active hangar, look up at the doors, and grasp the engineering at full scale — without leaving the booth at Farnborough, MRO Asia or any of the 30+ shows the asset travels to each year.

Gandhi Automations & the UK-Relevant Hangar Door Portfolio

Aircraft and shipyard hangar doors are available in two primary forms — fabric hoist-up doors and sliding doors — each engineered to suit different structural and clearance constraints. Both are built to withstand enormous wind loads and resist severe weather while maintaining smooth operation, including across the demanding wind and salt-spray conditions common to UK and Northern European coastal aviation sites.

Sliding Aircraft Hangar Doors

Recommended where headroom is limited and side clearances are available.

Vertical Lifting Fabric Hangar Doors

Eliminates heavy foundation work for bottom tracks; ideal for large openings.

Shipyard Doors

Engineered for marine and offshore environments with extreme weather loads.

The 4K 360° VR Production Pipeline

The 360° VR experience was not a single shoot — it was an end-to-end industrial VR production pipeline designed to scale across multiple countries and to produce one master asset that works on every channel: VR headset, exhibition kiosk and embedded web player.

01

On-Site 4K Capture

Multi-rig 360° cinema cameras deployed across active hangars in six countries to capture true-scale environments under industrial lighting conditions.

02

Stitching & Mastering

Frames stitched into seamless 4K spherical video; colour-graded for clarity under exhibition hall lighting (typically high-contrast, mixed-temperature).

03

Interactive Layer

Hotspots, project metadata, voiceovers and product call-outs added to guide buyers through each site at their own pace.

04

Exhibition Deployment

Packaged for VR headsets (Meta Quest), exhibition touch kiosks and embeddable web players — ready for AERO India, MRO Asia, Farnborough, Advanced Engineering Birmingham and 30+ other shows.

Six Countries, One Industrial 360° VR Sales Asset

Capture spanned Gandhi Automations' marquee deployments — from Indian airbases to South-East Asian aerospace facilities and Middle Eastern aviation hubs. Every site was documented in matched 4K 360° spec, so the final tour reads as a single coherent showcase rather than a stitched-together reel.

Why 360° VR Became Gandhi's Primary Exhibition Sales Channel

Gandhi Automations now uses the industrial 360° VR tour as the centrepiece of their global exhibition strategy — across AERO India, MRO Asia, Inter Airport, Big 5 Construct, Farnborough Airshow and 30+ other shows where their buyers congregate annually. It has become the default tool to qualify, educate and convert at-booth conversations.

Booth Engagement

Buyers spend 3–5 minutes inside the experience versus seconds glancing at a printed brochure.

Sales Efficiency

One master asset replaces dozens of country-specific brochures, videos and printed kits.

Evergreen Asset

New project sites are added as scenes — the same tour stays current year after year.

Global Consistency

Identical experience deployed at expos in the UK, wider Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

In capital-equipment B2B sales, the buyer is rarely on-site when the decision is made. For products engineered at hangar scale — aircraft doors, shipyard gates, large industrial systems — the gap between brochure and reality is the single biggest barrier to closing. Industrial 360° VR closes that gap by transporting the buyer into a working installation. It is not a marketing gimmick; it is a sales-infrastructure investment.

For Enterprise Industrial 360° VR Production

Producing exhibition-grade VR for hangar-scale products is not the same as shooting a real estate walkthrough. The lighting is industrial, the spaces are massive, the safety protocols are strict, and the deployment environment is unforgiving. That is the brief Metaverse911 is built for.

Enterprise-Grade 4K Capture

Cinema-rig 360° pipelines built for industrial environments — not consumer cameras pressed into service.

Exhibition-Ready Output

Every deliverable is engineered for live booth use: stable on Meta Quest headsets, kiosks and large-format screens.

Multi-Country Production

Coordinated capture across the UK, India, South-East Asia, Middle East and beyond — single creative direction, consistent output.

50+ Enterprise Case Studies

Trusted partner across aerospace, automotive, BFSI and manufacturing for immersive sales and exhibition assets.

Industrial 360° VR for Trade Shows & Exhibitions

Common questions from industrial buyers, exhibition managers and B2B marketing leads.

Drone video tells a story you choose. Industrial 360° VR lets the buyer choose where to look — they walk through the hangar at their own pace, look up at the door mechanism, look out at the tarmac. That sense of agency is what builds confidence in a multi-million-pound purchase.
Yes. We deliver a single master that is encoded for VR headsets like Meta Quest, exhibition touch kiosks, and embeddable web players — so your sales team has one industrial 360° VR asset for every channel.
Typical timeline is 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to final delivery, depending on travel coordination and the number of sites. We handle equipment logistics, on-site capture, post-production and exhibition packaging end-to-end.
We provide full deployment support — VR headset configuration, kiosk setup, attendant briefing notes and remote troubleshooting during the show. Our content has been deployed at trade fairs across the UK, wider Europe and the Middle East.
The VR tour is built modularly. New sites can be captured and added as additional scenes without re-shooting the existing library — keeping the asset evergreen across years of exhibitions.
