Digital Twin & Simulation
Visualize complex data on a virtual clone of a real world entity
Overview
A Digital twin is a digital replica of a physical entity such as a place, a building, vehicles or people.
The Umajin engine allows multiple users and devices to participate in a shared visualisation of different data overlaid on the digital twin including labels, measurements, live IOT data, enterprise data and 3D geospatial data.
Some users can spectate just with a smartphone or laptop, while some users can experience an immersive VR or AR view of the landscape as a table top view or scale it up, step inside and walk around. The Umajin enterprise layer is able to marshal real time data sources and relay real time commands for execution – or generate synthetic simulated data.
Umajin also provides a full stack of real world fusion systems for GPS tracking outside, and radio interpolation for inside tracking. This can be used to provide location for thousands of people and assets in real time in three dimensions. Once in the command and control environment it’s possible to scrub the timeline and see the historical position of items.
IOT Data
User Experience
The Umajin UI layer allows for fully functional forms and dialogs using ray picking from dual high accuracy controllers. Umajin can also accept analog-stick, trackpad and trigger inputs.
Umajin also supports voice input and eye fixation where the hardware is available. The combination really improves usability with the Umajin look menus and Umajin speak commands providing context sensitive discoverability. This makes actions simple, fast and natural.
Voice commands can include literal directions or instructions to users or assets, or higher level commands at a system level to perhaps increase the production level for a given plant in an industrial scenario.
Scenes can be range from illustrative to realistic and from terrain to urban. Real time shadow and other lighting effects can be used to help users clearly perceive scale and position and to clearly visually select interactive items.
Real time motion tracking with Phasespace also allows multiple users to work together on tasks and with IK bring avatars to life allowing people to read each others body language.
Assets
3D assets such as vehicles or buildings can be added to scenes and scenarios. Real time formats BLEND, DAE, STL, PLY, OBJ, FBX and glTF.
Umajin also has processing pipelines for voxel, laser scan and parametric datasets.
