Digital Twin - What is a Digital Twin?

A concept proposed in 2002 by Michael Grieves, a professor at the University of Michigan, that digitally recreates a real-world twin of goods and equipment. This allows digital twins to be used to improve subsequent models of a product by faithfully simulating defects and failures in a virtual space. Our company is applying the digital twin to the vast expanses of the real world by developing a platform that can be used by anyone, converting static and dynamic phenomena that occur in the real world into digital data.

DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY

We are developing a platform called SYMMETRY that can convert static and dynamic events occurring in the real world into digital data and make it available to everyone.

reality-capture

1. REALITY CAPTURE

LiDAR, drone, BIM/CIM and GIS data create a digital twin of the real world. Fast processing and visualization by VR, AR, smartphone, PC, and other platforms.

mapping

2. MAPPING

Real-time data from IoT sensors and satellite data are used to update digital twins based on real-world events.

simulate

3. SIMULATION

Real-world simulations using digital twins that are updated in real time realize a smart society through automation and optimization of operations.

About SYMMETRY

Symmetry Dimensions Inc., founded on October 20, 2014, specializes in research and development for xR (extended reality) — including virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. We are progressing communications in construction and civil engineering with the development of a digital twin that enables a virtual reproduction of static and dynamic events happening in the real world along with the provision of a digital infrastructure that allows anyone to easily access such data.
