A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, system, or process that mirrors its real-world counterpart in real time. This sophisticated model leverages data from sensors, and other sources to simulate, analyse, and predict performance, efficiency, and potential issues. Digital twins are widely used across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and urban planning to optimise operations, support decision-making, and enhance predictive maintenance. By providing a dynamic, data-driven insight into how physical assets operate, digital twins enable improved efficiency, reduced costs, and innovative solutions. The energy-intensive operations of digital twins require large computing facilities and an array of sensors, which augment the technosphere. With climate change, digital twins are starting to be adopted to record and preserve heritage that is at severe risk of loss and destruction.
