Göteborgs digitala tvilling visas, en spelversion av Göteborg, blickar ut över husfasaderna och älven, en dramtatiska himmel visas i skyn.

Main areas in which we have high competence.

In our innovation projects that we do with external partners, we are not bound to only these as we have a large network with expert knowledge connected to other areas of visualization.

Informationsvisualisering över våra fokusområde,: informationsvisualisering, XR, digitala tvillingar, Metaverse och förändringsledning. Olika ikoner syns tillsammmans med text som symboliserar detta.

We contribute to the dissemination of research and benefit both companies and society. We offer a visualization environment and a meeting place where we gather, take advantage of and promote people's knowledge, new thinking and commitment. Examples of roles we can have and resources we can add to projects:

Run project initiatives
Project owner
Project manager
Work package manager
Visualization expertise
Visualization environment and technology
Communication and dissemination in Lindholmen Science Park's extensive network

Help and strengthen the work for a sustainable future

Visual Arena is a neutral platform that brings together actors from business, industry, universities and institutes, cities, regions, authorities for collaboration and projects that lead to new ways of visualizing to help and strengthen work for a sustainable future.

Visualization as a democratizing tool

Together with our partners, we capture needs and ideas that can lead to projects and in the long run to implementation in reality. It enables new, innovative visualization solutions that help businesses and individuals in everyday life, enrich our way of expression and become a democratizing tool.

Visualization

By visualization we mean a way of communicating, a tool that broadens our ability to describe and helps us to understand and experience. Visualization can bridge barriers, simplify and clarify, create the power of change, illustrate the thought and the measured, to name a few valuable qualities.
