CASES
Proof of Concept
Client: Sweco Sverige AB
Project: Enhanced citizen dialogue
Industry: Society building
During the spring and summer of 2022, Sweco and Around The Corner teamed up and explored how Metaverse can add new and improved value to the civil engineering industry. This project focused on how digital twins (digital copies of buildings) developed by Sweco could be used for other purposes, in this case for improved citizen dialog.
This resulted in a project where a digital twin of Magnentus tower in Norrköpings kommun was adapted and imported to the Microsoft-owned Metaverse platform AltspaceVR.
Around the Corner developed three different simulation modules that visualize how the building will affect the sun flow, how the building looks at different heights, and how other surface materials on the building would look, all from a neighbor’s perspective.

Learning & education
Client: Swish
Project: Business solution education
Industry: Payment solutions
The awarded and fast-growing Swedish tech and payment solution company Swish continuously explores new and immersive ways to provide its services to the market. An obvious thing for Swish is to explore Metaverse and how it can be used for different purposes and situations.
In the first case, Around the Corner developed “The Swish plaza” where the visitor can take part in different scenarios to better understand the Swish for business solutions. To make the experience the way Swish wanted it, Around the Corner needed to develop new integration and interaction solutions.
When visitors enter the plaza they automatically have a mobile phone in their hand. When they come close to one of the marked information signs, the mobile interacts with the presented information and shows it on the screen. The custom-made solutions makes the Plaza very suitable for education and training and that’s also how Swish uses it today.
