What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a dynamic virtual copy of a physical asset, process, system or environment that looks like and behaves identically to its real-world counterpart. A digital twin ingests data and replicates processes so you can predict possible performance outcomes and issues that the real-world product might undergo.

Driving industry transformation
Here are just a few of the many industries embracing the power of digital twins.
“Without tools like Unity, we would not be able to offer cost-effective digital twin solutions the same way we are doing now. With Unity constantly improving its product, we can confidently innovate and bring cutting-edge solutions to life.”
“A digital twin means you can test and solve problems before they're in the real world. So I can't think of anything more important, both from a design, construction, and carbon footprint perspective, as digital twins.”
