“However, it wasn’t until recent advances in innovative technologies – such as internet of things (IoT) devices for pulling massive amounts of data – that digital twins began to truly mature,” said Todd Richmond, IEEE Member.
“Digital twins provide a way to ask ‘what if/why not’ questions of an object or system,” said Richmond. “By utilizing a combination of visualization, simulation and internet of things technologies, digital twin technologies enable us to glean insights into objects and systems in unprecedented ways.”
