A digital twin represents a connection between a real object and the digital world. The twin consists of a digital model that is automatically updated with data from the real world and also automatically transfers changes from the digital world to the real world. We have created such a twin. In the first step, we integrated the geometry data in the form of the building model, point clouds and meshes into a VR environment.
