Digital Twin Visualization and Interaction on SAGE2

Published 05 Feb 2025

This project leverages the SAGE2 platform to enhance Digital Twin applications by enabling multi-window interactions and real-time data exchange across different display environments. Unlike traditional web-based Digital Twin applications that offer a single-view interaction, SAGE2 allows users to visualize and interact with multiple components simultaneously, such as 3D building models, Digital Twin interfaces, and dashboards. This integrated visualization empowers users to gain a comprehensive overview of the system, facilitating better decision-making and streamlined operations in building management.

Key contributions of this project include:

  • Enhanced visualization by displaying 3D models, Digital Twins, and dashboards concurrently on SAGE2.
  • Interactive multi-window environment, allowing real-time data sharing between applications.
  • Dynamic response capabilities, such as adjusting the dashboard view based on parameter changes triggered in the Digital Twin application.
  • Improved user experience in building management by offering a holistic view and seamless interaction with multiple data sources.
