World Twin

A planetary-scale digital twin for smart infrastructure operators.

World Twin
01 · Problem

What needed solving

Global infrastructure operators - utilities, transport authorities, energy firms - hold their reality in a dozen siloed systems. Nobody has a single interactive view of the built environment they are actually responsible for.

02 · Approach

How we're building it

We built a browser-native planetary twin on Cesium, streaming 3D Tiles from satellite and drone captures, layered with live telemetry via a lightweight event bus. An AI copilot answers spatial questions against the same data model.
