Visual A.C.T. (Artistic Computer Technology) is a private limited liability company registered in Sweden. The company develops and manufactures advanced performance technology, including computerized control systems for all types of scenes.

Visual act has developed several products. The basis for these is the Visual act Stage Control System that is designed to control all types of mobile machinery on, over or under a scene. The system is used to control Visual acts other product offerings such as Visual act Wagon, Visual act Fly and Visual act 3D.

Visual act Wagon is a patented stage wagon system through which the set design can be easily modified. Actors, scenery, stage and other technical installations can freely be moved across the stage floor as pre-programmed and automated movements. Visual act Fly is designed to control fly bars, to program motion (position, velocity and acceleration /deceleration) of individual axles or combine and synchronize the movements of several axes. The development of the fly system has led to the Visual act 3D which is a system that by linking three or more winches can fly an item (eg. decorative, persons or camera) three-dimensional in the air. 

Visual act has through its solid expertise and competitive concept, received several prestigious assignments in larger theaters and stages around the world, for example the new The Royal Danish Playhouse and the Old Stage for the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen, Det Norske Teatret, Den Norske Opera (newly built) in Oslo, Finnish Opera and Muziekteatret in Amsterdam.
