Digital Twins | A human perspective
What is a Digital Twin and what does it mean for the AEC industry?
Digital Twins is a topic area that is being discussed more frequently across the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry with increasing excitement. However, there remain many misconceptions or differing points of view of what a Digital Twin is.
Symetri recently hosted a workshop to gain insights into what Digital Twins means, the benefits of considering them, and different types of Digital Twins applied within the industry and other sectors. We were surprised to discover that their focus was predominately on the human aspect.
The 3 main take aways:
- Gain an understanding of what a Digital Twin is
- There is a keen interest in the human element and how we interact with the built environment
- Digital Twins can bring proactivity, not reactivity
