The world eagerly awaits the Paris Olympics 2024, starting from 26th July 2024. At the Paris Olympics, we witness the extraordinary performances of athletes and the latest innovations in modern technology.
The Paris Olympics are a game-changer, as it is the first in history to be completely digitalized for a futuristic games experience. Digital Twins technology is used at the Olympic venues, the same technology will also be used for the Paris Paralympic 2024.
Before we move ahead let’s understand what exactly Digital Twins technology is.
What is Digital Twins technology?
What if I say, to host the Paris Olympics 2024, the organizing committee and stakeholders designed the two same models of the Olympic Village, I know this sounds funny, but this is true and this is what Digital Twins can do.
In simple language Digital Twins means the virtual and the exact model of the physical entity, it may be a building, machine, stadium, or an entire city.
Let’s make it simpler from the above example.
There are two identical Olympic villages, one is the real place where the actual games are happening, and the other is a virtual version. Sensors fitted in the real village to collect data on things like weather, lights, and sound. This data is sent to the virtual village, where we can see everything and make changes in real-time. This way, we can keep everything running smoothly during the games.
The core purpose of the Digital Twins is to make the system more efficient and sustainable.
History of Digital Twins
The thought of Digital Twins was first introduced in the year 1960 by NASA for the Apollo mission, however, the name Digital Twin was not given at that time. The idea was to test and evaluate the possible solutions from Earth.
Dr. Michael Grieve from the University of Michigan was the first who use Digital Twins when he was working on the project Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Later, other industries also started implementing Digital Twins technology.
