What is Turbo Twin?
Turbo Twin is a Digital Twin (DT) creation tool built on Unreal Engine.
It makes it easy to create, manage, and visualize digital representations of real-world assets. Whether you're dealing with IoT data, building information models (BIM), or geographical information systems (GIS), TurboTwin brings all this data together into an interactive 3D environment.
It uses the Microsoft-created open source DTDL (Digital Twin Definition Language) at its core to define the Twin Graph. It manages connections between the Logical Twins in the Twin Graph and the 3D objects (Meshes, Point Clouds, Dynamic Visualizations) in your Scene Graph, and ties it together with external data coming in from IoT and API connections.
It features integrations with Azure Digital Twins (ADT) for publishing your Twin, as well as Git for version control of the source files that make up the Models, Twins and data connections.
Why Turbo Twin?
We recognized the need for a robust 3D tool capable of authoring a spatial twin that unifies IoT, BIM, GIS, and operational data. Currently the only way to create DTDL twins with full version 3 support is to write the code yourself. Microsoft’s own Digital Twin Explorer currently only supports version 2. To compound this, the people who know the real life assets and data are typically not skilled programmers. Turbo Twin was created to bridge this gap.
