Research & Projects

We work actively to make projects possible by gathering people from the worlds of academia, business and government authorities into partnerships to develop and disseminate knowledge about how visualization can be used in existing and new areas.

Visual Arena Research Visual Arena Research strengthens, collects and develops research and education in the field of visualization at Chalmers, the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital

Do you have an idea, challenge or need where visualization could play a role? Are you interested in discussing the possibilities for finding, financing and starting a project?

Current projects

Projekt

  • Narrative telling with VR and new technologies

  • Norm-creative visualization in urban development – Further reading

    During 2015-2016 a pre-study "Norm critic visualization in city development" was performed. The pre-study shows that visualizations in urban development processes often are stereotypical regarding e.g. age, gender, disability and ethnicity, but it also shows a potential to use visualization as an active tool to highlight and run norm-critical perspectives in urban development processes to achieve innovative norm-creative solutions.

  • 3D model of the city in the 1600s – Further reading

    A cooperative project to develop a virtual model of Gothenburg in the 1600s. Its purpose is to show residents of Gothenburg what the urban design of the city looked like when it was founded, in order to create an understanding of history and why the city is laid out as it is. The result will be a realistic 3D model that can be used in multiple ways, for example by projecting it as a video on a screen or as a virtual model. The model can also be posted on the Internet.
