Surveytech in partnership with Matterport will be presenting a practical webinar on 'The Many Uses of the Digital Twin' featuring guest speakers Melissa Zanocco from the Infrastructure Client Group (ICG) and Simon Sadek from 360VirtualTour.Co, hosted by Surveytech's MD, Matt Lacey:
• What is digital twin technology and how does it work?
• How is augmented reality used in the construction industry?
• The usage of BIM and digital twins in the built environment industry.
• Using a 3D digital twin and augmented reality.
• What challenges can digital twin solve?
A digital twin is a virtual model of a process, product or service. This pairing of the virtual and physical worlds allows analysis of data and monitoring of systems to head off problems before they even occur, prevent downtime, develop new opportunities and even plan for the future by using simulations. But what are the many uses of the digital twin?
