SWECO: Thrilled to Share & Challenge VR Expertise

We are thrilled to share some exciting news regarding the launch of the PrismArch project. Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancy company Sweco, shares their Virtual Reality (VR) inside PrismArch. An amazing collaboration project funded by the European Commission. The aim of the project is to investigate, analyse and develop a comprehensive project presentation in Virtual Reality (VR).

Sweco plans and designs tomorrow’s communities and cities.  For Sweco, research is a crucial element of every project and is applied in equal measure to cost, buildability, maintenance and technical performance. Regarding the PrismArch project, Peter Hale, Buildings Operations Director said, “We are delighted to be working on this important R&D project. We believe it to be a great opportunity to investigate solutions which will improve the experience for our clients. Research is an important aspect of industry evolution and we at Sweco are proud to invest our expertise in defining such a future.”

Arun Selvaraj, Executive Engineer and Project Lead added, “We have been investigating the feasibility of integrating VR into our workflows for quite some time now and have implemented it in many projects. The response from our clients has been both encouraging and promising. We are thrilled to be a part of the initiative.”

Using VR ensures our clients get a real feel and understanding of how their buildings will be and evolve throughout the design stages. The use of such technology will enhance project sustainability and the client experience”, said Oussama Yousfi, a senior engineer on the project team.

Inside the PrismArch ecosystem, Sweco team provides valuable insights and expertise for conducting the research on VR and developing/evaluating PrismArch VR tools.
