"Digital Twin" is the future of not just a few "Smart Cities," but almost any infrastructure network. For the "Digital Twin" concept to work, data should be presented in a way that facilitates a better understanding of the surroundings by the end user. This is where Augmented Reality shines.
Augmented Reality (AR) can visualize both above- and below-ground assets. Adding AR visuals to the real world situations helps solve real-life challenges today. This video is an example of Esri ArcGIS working in conjunction with #vGIS (www.vGIS.io) to bring this “Digital Twins” vision to life as a practical field services tool.
The video is recorded from the earlier field tests of vGIS's new visualization engine that converts traditional 2D GIS data stored in Esri ArcGIS into 3D visuals on the fly.
