Core Concepts

Digital Twin

Standardized Definition

A Digital Twin is a high-fidelity, interactive digital representation of a physical asset, facility, or infrastructure. Created through 3D LiDAR reality capture (such as Matterport Pro3) and parametric Scan-to-BIM modeling (Autodesk Revit), a Digital Twin bridges physical site conditions with virtual visualization, simulation, operational management, and predictive maintenance.
