Digital twins - future trend
The digital twin concept originated in the early 1990s, so it is not new at all. In the nearly 30 years of its existence, several definitions of what digital can be were created.
While for some it is purely data stored somewhere in a database or in a file system, for others it is a BIM model (Building Information Management), for another, it is a simulation software of production processes, for us, it is live data collection and 3D visualization. Which concept is "correct" is difficult to say because it depends a lot on purpose and uses - one concept makes better sense than another.
In any case, everyone agrees that it is a digital copy of any object, whatever it is - a city, a building, a machine, or the human heart.
