A highly elaborate digital twin of Singapore is headed to the metaverse


The concept of a digital twin consists of recreating, in virtual form, an existing infrastructure, whether it is a simple connected object, a more complex system or, as in this case, an entire city, in order to study and analyse its behaviours in a bid to optimise its performance. — AFP Relaxnews

Singapore has been entirely modelled in 3D thanks to a local startup, which now aims to bring it into the metaverse. This virtual version of Singapore will also be used by professionals who wish to market their products, as well as for games and leisure purposes.

The entire state of Singapore has been modelled in 3D, which reportedly makes it the world's largest digital twin. This feat was achieved by Singaporean startup Vizzio Technologies, which used thousands of satellite photos and, through the power of artificial intelligence, was able to reconstruct the entire city, block by block, street by street, with painstaking precision. It should be noted that Vizzio doesn't intend to stop at Singapore and hopes to be able to "clone" other large cities digitally in the near future.
