Are We Calling Everything a DIGITAL TWIN?

What actually makes a digital twin? Is it a 3D model? A point cloud? A connected data set? Does it need IoT? Does it need to change over time? And most importantly, does any of that matter if nobody actually uses it? In the first Reality Capture Network Roundtable, Matt Byrd brings together Kelley Watt, Jason Sansoucy, Carlos Femmer and Jeremy Pilgrim for a wide-ranging conversation about one of the most used, misunderstood and rapidly evolving terms in the reality capture industry: the digital twin. The group gets into where the definition starts to break down, why digital twins have to create real business value, how reality capture data should live beyond individual projects, the challenges of getting field teams to actually adopt new technology, accuracy versus fit-for-purpose data, workforce and education gaps, robotics, automation and what happens when AI can begin interrogating digital twins on its own. From airports, dams and telecom infrastructure to schools, utilities and industrial facilities, this conversation looks beyond the technology itself and asks a more important question: What problem are we actually trying to solve?
