Singapore, according to the World Economic Forum, has the most sophisticated digital twin to date. Singapore has really gained a reputation for being among the smart city digital twins that is more sophisticated.
Even as early as 2014, the nation debuted Virtual Singapore, a digital portrayal of the nation. These digital twins, or representations, were essentially created to support policy decisions, test new technologies, and facilitate collaboration between government agencies inside a realistic city model. Thanks to efforts and initiatives taken by numerous businesses and even government agencies, the nation quickly embraced digital twin technology.
Vizzio Technologies released what it calls the world’s largest digital twin of a country not long after GPS Lands Singapore finished work on the world’s first digital twin of the whole country. In less than two weeks, Vizzio produced a 1:1 scale model of 3D Singapore that was divided into 728,000,000 identical 1 square meter tiles using satellite photos and artificial intelligence.
This Singapore-based technology firm specializes in building and virtualizing digital realities and has essentially ‘cloned’ the entire city-state of Singapore by creating a digital twin using artificial intelligence (AI), complete with photo real renditions from aerial to building to the street level to indoors in a seamless interactive 3D tour.
Given that digital twins are virtual representations of physical items and a gateway to the metaverse, Vizzio announced that it would also be releasing a metaverse version of Singapore and the entire world for amusement and gamification.
In the future, businesses will be able to sell their brands and products via the company’s metaverse superapp, which will be based on an exact 1:1 reproduction of Earth and be “completely AI and machine learning based,” according to Vizzio.
