The Digital Twin is Digital Jersey’s new data-rich virtual representation of the Island, offering stakeholders a platform to make data-driven decisions in a low-risk environment, before deploying them in the real world.
The Digital Twin comprises three key elements: a data platform populated with real-world and real-time data from myriad sources, a simulation which allows you to test theories and ideas in a completely safe setting, and a virtual reality experience to bring concepts to life.
This approach saves time and money, allows for innovative thinking to be put into virtual practice in a zero physical impact way, and offers instant calibration and modification until the right result is found.
Would staggering school start times help ease traffic flows? Trialing it in the real world could cause massive upheaval, disruption and potential negative reaction. Trialing it with the Digital Twin data platform and simulation means you can find the answer without a single motorist needing to know.
The possibilities offered by the Digital Twin are only limited by your imagination. But, even then, we can recreate what you’ve imagined through our virtual reality experience, so now there really are no boundaries to the possibilities.
