Reality Modeling/Digital Twins and Preservation of Our National Treasures
On the surface, reality modeling produces a 2.5D or 3D texturized mesh, point cloud, or photo. When paired with other digital data, survey, design, inspections, and database information, these models become a digital twin of the real thing, providing far more relevance than either could deliver on its own.
This user-led session features work at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (Thayer Hall), the Naval Academy Chapel, a California rail project, and Turkey Peak. HDR’s geomatics and remote sensing team will show how advanced reality modeling concepts add value beyond the original scope of work.
During this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- How applying advanced concepts to a scope of work creates opportunities to add value
- How similar techniques can be applied to different projects using different equipment
- How digital twin interactions are set up and managed, including ProjectWise workflows
This session offers a rare look inside a leading enterprise reality capture practice and the preservation work it supports.
