Producing 3D Models for city Digital Twins
What are digital twins?
Digital Twins are digital representations of physical reality. They can have many forms and scales, from compact models in Mechanical Engineering to complete digital city models. Digital twins are very useful for visualizing the current state of a city but can also be used to simulate future or past events.
