Experience the Digital Twin Built for Connecting Your XR Content with the Real World

Technology is evolving quickly to bring XR capabilities into mainstream culture. The content in these systems need to be anchored properly to ensure correct and accurate display for consumers. We discuss frameworks for digital twin technologies for improving the accuracy of anchoring and examples such as Maxar’s high resolution global digital twin. We explore the wide use cases for these tools, showcasing applications in the gaming and entertainment industry, including how movies can be filmed in any location on Earth from one studio and how video game developers can start with real cities as their canvas for building out new levels.
