Discover what an app can do for your destination
Turn on the sound, put on your headphones and come with us out into nature.
Everywhere, there are places with stories waiting to be discovered
The Småhamra rune stone in Haninge, south of Stockholm, stands between a house and a meadow.
With the Upptäck historien (Discover History) app, you can scan the stone and see the runes filled in and read aloud.
On Birka, too, augmented reality brings history to life
Just over a thousand years ago, the island of Björkö in Lake Mälaren was where it all happened. This was Birka, the Vikings' most important trading town. Today its history lies hidden underground.
Creating AR experiences is easier than you might think. No programming needed – green-screen film goes a long way.
Guide from the water
Maps and GPS work just as well at sea as on land.
On Strand Rederi's sightseeing boats in Stockholm, passengers can keep their phones in their pockets. GPS starts the audio guide automatically, so the right story plays at the right place.
But what lies hidden beneath the surface?
Paddle on a wreck safari
Some wrecks are clearly visible from the surface, others lie deeper. The Läckö-Kinnekulle app guides you to the shipwrecks of Lake Vänern, Sweden's largest lake. What secrets do they hold?
Here lies the wreck of the Lycke, visible from the surface.
