The nextVision Group develops interactive, gaming-engine based 3D environments to facilitate the internal and external communication and decision-making process for property and infrastructure development projects of all sizes. The two major questions to be answered when considering the creation of a digital twin of your project are: What do we want to achieve and what existing data can be used as a starting point?

Utilising existing data

By combining existing project data from any digital format, such as architectural and engineering designs, and widely available information for the surroundings of the project site, such as satellite imagery and topographical data, nextVision realtime produces a highly accurate 3D representation of the proposed project environment based on the world's leading gaming engine technology.


Freely navigate through your development

Suitable for all stakeholders

No matter how complex, opportunities, constraints, visual impacts, design principles, or economic and environmental considerations, can be clearly communicated throughout the entire project lifecycle. This makes nextVision realtime a valuable tool from the internal decision-making process to development approval negotiations, as well as community consultation and sales. The spatially accurate 3D digital twin flexibly changes and grows throughout various project stages, ensuring a short-term return on investment and full control. Anyone can now freely and easily walk or fly around your project to get an immediate and visually intuitive understanding of the project's unique characteristics and design outcomes – without requiring the technical expertise to interpret two dimensional plans or static representations.

Further advantages are the flexibility in the display and the use of different end devices. Your own project development can be presented anytime and anywhere: in a meeting via laptop and projector, streamed live over the internet onto a smartphone and tablet, or immersively in the sales centre with spatial presentations or VR headsets. The viewer gets a direct visual understanding of the project details - without having to interpret complex two-dimensional plans or static representations.



Customised and flexible

Notably, each application can also be tailored to enable the simulation of project-specific site conditions or design variations at the push of a button. All critical aspects can thus be fully appreciated by both internal stakeholders and the broader public, reducing risks, and providing for a more equitable engagement and decision-making process without compromises. 

Regardless of the complexity of the project, design principles, architecture and design, infrastructure and public facilities, lines of sight and optical effects as well as economic and ecological aspects can be clearly communicated throughout the entire project cycle. nextVision realtime thus becomes a valuable tool, from the internal decision-making process through the necessary approval procedures to public relations and project marketing. The digital twin is completely flexible and develops step by step depending on the requirements along the various project phases, which always ensures optimal use and a short-term return on investment.


Longstanding project experience

The development team behind nextVision realtime combines longstanding industry experience with technical know-how, giving our experts the ability to devise practical solutions to specific challenges and to process any type of data commonly created within the industry. Therefore, supporting your development with a digital twin does not place any further burden on design consultants but works to alleviate communication and coordination pressures from day one. A 3D digital twin is a cost-efficient option for projects of all sizes and levels of detail, from single apartments to significant redevelopments, such as the major Swiss lake precinct project AGGLOlac in collaboration with developer Mobimo AG, for which the project team received the 2020 polis Award. Even entire cities have been recreated for urban planning and major government infrastructure projects.

A digital twin creates freedom for your team and reduces the communication and coordination effort from day one. A project-specific 3D environment is a cost-effective option for projects of all sizes and levels of detail, from individual apartments to large-scale projects, such as the major AGGLOlac lake front redevelopment project in Switzerland, which has received 1st place in the 2020 polis AWARD for its digital twin.

The benefits of the digital twin go far beyond the interactive application. Using the various in-built features, users can create communication collateral by themselves at the push of a button. Examples are high-resolution 3D perspectives, videos with virtual drone flights and individualised content for the customers or the project website and social media.
