The Global Post has a little piece about Berlin, which features Metaversum a bit:

BERLIN — The offices of software maker Metaversum are located in the back courtyard of a typical old Berlin apartment house. You’ll find it next to the Game Academy, Europe’s first school for young aspiring programmers, and above c-base, a non-profit software organization that operates under the motto, “Be future compatible.”
