Digital Twin+ for HKUST Campus

Jack CP CHENG

An extension of the Digital Twin for HKUST Campus project, this project explores the different uses of HKUST’s digital twin, a digital replica of HKUST’s living and nonliving physical assets and systems.

By centralizing data from a variety of internet of things (IoT) systems and incorporating it into HKUST’s digital twin, Digital Twin Plus offers real-time information to a broad spectrum of campus users.

Check out the virtual tour and GIS applications on the project website.

What is the problem this project is trying to address?

Digital Twin Plus aims to be the platform that centralizes all IoT data and information which is currently scattered among different systems and platforms, bringing convenience to the operations of Campus Development Office (CDO) and Campus Management Office (CMO).

How does this project support our sustainable smart campus as a living lab vision?

There are already many systems on campus that provide physical and digital data about the campus and its assets. Digital Twin Plus gathers all of them into one place in a smart way — since it does not involve a new data collection system, there is no need to migrate existing data or retrain the current staff, minimizing the time and cost for implementing Digital Twin Plus.

What's next?

The HKUST Digital Twin project has recently received a Grand Award in The Hong Kong openBIM / openGIS Award 2022 organized by HKABAEIMA.
