Solution

Multimedia Digital Experience in a Studio Context

Les Mills Immersive is a multimedia fitness experience featuring immersive video sequences for fitness classes in Les Mills studios around the world.

The video sequences are managed and delivered by a macOS app (Central), which is controlled by an iOS app for iPad (Remote).

Architecture of the Immersive App Solution

Les Mills Player (macOS App): The “Digital Brain” of the Studio

  • Controls up to five projectors/displays

  • Renders a dynamic video composition of the current class and controls an external digital mixing console

  • Manages all content assets and studio settings

  • License management

  • Runs "invisibly" on a Mac Pro or Mac mini in the studio

Les Mills Remote (iPadOS App)

  • Used by the “Immersive Trainer” on their iPad

  • Is the “User Interface” (UI) for the Player App

  • Real-time access to all key Player settings (class control, audio, projector control, and more)

  • Communicates with the Player App via Bluetooth and WiFi

We are the right partner for business apps.
