Digital Twin Talks
To explore how digital twins are defined and the overarching concepts around them, the DT Hub hosted a five-part talk series (available here).
These talks were introduced by Sam Chorlton, chair of the Digital Twin Hub, who highlighted the fact that digital twin are not a new concept but rather that the technologies are now at a point where they can have a meaningful impact. With the national digital twin (NDT) programme leveraging now matured technologies and principles, these talks were aimed at exploring how they could be utilized within the built environment. In each case, a video from the speaker was used to spark an online discussion involving a mix of stakeholders and experts from across the value chain.
This first series of talks included:
- Olivier Thereaux (ODI), Towards a web of digital twins;
- Brian Matthews (DAFNI), Meeting the Digital Twin Challenge;
- Tanguy Coenen (IMEC), Urban Digital Twins;
- Neil Thompson (Akins), Twinfrastructure; and
- Simon Evans (Arup), Digital Roundtable.
Towards a Web of Digital Twins
Beginning the digital twin talk series, Olivier Thereaux from the Open Data Institute (ODI) considered the parallels between the world wide web and the need to connect digital twins to form a national digital twin. By first citing the Gemini Principles and establishing what a digital twin is, Olivier articulated the rationale for their adoption by explaining the concept of digital twin as an approach to collect data to inform decision making within an interactive cycle.
