Context

A digital twin is a digital model of a physical system that enables the analysis of its past and present states, as well as the prediction of its future evolution. This study aims to develop a new user interface for Earth Digital Twins, integrated into a 3D web portal. The goal is to enhance visualization, analysis, and interaction with models. The project is based on various use cases (peri-urban areas, coastal zones, forests) and seeks to build a user community by promoting open-source solutions to encourage collaboration and innovation.

CS Group responsabilities for Cockpit DTF (Digital Twins Factory) are as follows:
