Enabling 3D Geospatial Workflows for Industrial Digital Twins

Ingesting massive, global-scale, real-world geospatial data into virtual worlds is fundamental to building physically accurate industrial metaverse applications and digital twins. These digital twins are critical to simulating real-world environments in architecture, engineering, & construction, smart cities, defense, autonomous driving, robotics, climate science, and more. Geospatial data and virtual worlds provide context, spatial coherence and relationships, and real-time monitoring capabilities.

We’ll share how we built Cesium for Omniverse, an open-source extension for NVIDIA Omniverse that enables an accurate WGS84 globe, an efficient 3D Tiles streaming engine for massive 3D geospatial data and level of detail selection, and integration with Cesium ion for easy and optimized access to 3D tiling pipelines and global data. Learn how Omniverse’s OpenUSD and Fabric, combined with 3D Tiles and glTF, enable high-fidelity streaming and rendering for global-scale digital twins using open standards.
