From cars to buildings, digital twins help us understand tomorrow’s tech and infrastructure — and we need more

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real system – a building, the power grid, a city, even a human being – that mimics the characteristics of the system. A digital twin is more than just a computer model, however. It receives data from sensors in the real system to constantly parallel the system’s state. A digital twin helps people analyze and predict a system’s behavior under different conditions. The systems being twinned are typically very complex and require significant effort to model and track. Digital twins are useful in a wide variety of domains, including supply chains,…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/from-cars-to-buildings-digital-twins-help-us-understand-tomorrows-tech-and-infrastructure-and-we-need-more
