4. Smart Cities platforms I addressed industry platforms in the last posts noting the multitude of data that are created by industry processes and in perspective by the products as they will be used. I also pointed out the crucial role played by Digital Twins in that context (as Digital …

3. Industry platforms I Industry has adopted a number of standards and platforms in the various phases of the value chain, platforms for the supply chain, for manufacturing, for delivery… In these last two decades the new paradigm of Industry 4.0 has been defined and it is now taking traction …

Multimodal Interfaces To close this series of post on human to whatever interfaces I chose to look at multimodal interfaces for three reasons: we have been using, as human, multimodal interfaces throughout our evolution history; multimodal interfaces will be the future of interfaces, in my opinion; we are already using …

3. Personalised Healthcare / Digital Twins At the same time as we progress in the human genome understanding and learn to use it for personal healthcare we are seeing companies like GE and Philips (watch the clip) that are investing in the creation of person’s digital twins as a way …

10. Digital Twin Digital Twins are becoming a widespread reality in many areas, they started to be used in manufacturing and are now expanding into healthcare, education and training … The field of AEC, Architecture Engineering and Construction, is also rapidly deploying the technology. It is starting with office buildings …

4. Artificial intelligence (AI), The amount of data created and harvested by sensors (IoT) in a city is huge, but what matters is to be able to make sense out of those data. Basically, once one has the data the following questions have to be answered (ordered by the value …

Yesterday I gave a talk on Digital Transformation at COMPSAC, here’s the gist of it. In the beginning, there were atoms, and we aggregated atoms into products, we invented tools, processes for managing atoms and our job was to make and use those tools and the processes linking the various …

The Digital Twin market is possibly one of those with the highest growth, and part of the reason is that it is both fuelling the digital transformation and it is fuelled by the digital transformation. Another reason is that the success of digital twins in areas like manufacturing and operation …

ExtendedDigitalTwin An extended Digital Twin goes beyond the mirroring, shadowing and threading of its physical twin. It becomes active and extends the characteristics of its physical counterpart. In addition, it can take action on behalf of its physical counterpart, becoming a sort of avatar (since it can be seen as …

Digital Twins have been “invented” to mirror a physical entity, its physical twin with a level of fidelity (accuracy) and synchronicity that is adequate to the specific use of the digital twin. In the next decade it is most likely that current digital twin (in what is called a stage …
