Digital Twins in Cultural Spaces: Beyond the Virtual Tour
A digital twin is a dynamic digital replica of a physical space—be it a museum, archaeological site, or historical building. Unlike a simple 3D model or virtual tour, a digital twin evolves in real time, integrating data and interactive layers.
Applications in Cultural Spaces:
- Smart Exhibition Planning
Test visitor flows and improve accessibility before physical setup. - Interactive Visitor Experiences
Offer location-based info, AR features, and adaptive audio guides. - Remote Access for All
Allow students, tourists, and researchers to explore heritage sites from anywhere. - Conservation Monitoring
Track structural data, climate, and lighting to protect artworks and artifacts. - Inclusive Narratives
Integrate stories, languages, and experiences into a living, evolving platform.
Digital twins represent the future of cultural engagement: immersive, accessible, and intelligent. They turn places into platforms—and visitors into participants.
