The concept of a digital twin has been around for many years, but it gained traction at the beginning of this decade. Wikipedia describes the digital twin as the generation of digital data that represents a physical object.

One definition of the digital twin is that it comprises a virtual representation that serves as the real-time digital part of a physical object or process. One of its first users was NASA, which helped define the technology. The connections between the physical and digital product are data that flows from the physical to the digital and information available from the digital to the physical environment. The specific information in digital twins is use case driven. The digital twin is just a logical construct, so real data and information can be contained in other applications.

In our daily lives, the most present and known digital twin is the digital maps on our smartphones, allowing us to easily navigate around the world.

And look how this little animal is being used even in the metaverse, how daring. Check the article at the link: https://www.tecmundo.com.br/mobilidade-urbana-smart-cities/237008-metaverso-gemeos-digitais-geografia-cidades.htm

Besides being one of the most magnificent instruments of digital transformation, the digital twin will have even greater value as the world transitions to more sustainable practices.
