I Built a Digital Twin of My Home in Lockdown - Emerging Technology

What is digital twins? Curious can it apply to both business, government and everyday use at home?

Find out from ARQ Group's Emerging Tech expert James Litjens as he dives into what are Digital Twins, why we should be interested in them and walking us through an interactive demo of how he transformed his own home into a digital twin while under lockdown due to Covid restrictions in Melbourne, Australia in 2020.

This is an amazing example of the practicality and potential of digital twin systems.

James, great job! This video will help many homeowners conceptualize the long-term potential for residential digital twins. We encourage Arq Group to turn this into a product platform of some kind, so that homeowners can have plug-and-play integration of devices, appliances, systems, data, etc. This would foster an intuitive dashboard/model that homeowners can use to manage their homes. Using an intuitive moniker like "Digital Twin" with easy-to-use technology that encapsulates complexity will go a long way towards empowering current homeowners and homes of the future.

This is single-handedly the best residential "digital twin" I've ever seen. Love HomeKit but this is on another level, thanks for sharing! Any way to implement something similar at home?

[JT-zqpl]

Well done! I'm studying digital twins in uni and this is a pioneering example

[akshatgupta]

Can you please suggest some softwares and tutorials for one to implement the same?

[MinhajMalik]

Unbelievably detailed. This is a really nice implementation.

Thats just amazing! Thanks for sharing this incredible twin with us. I would also be interested to know whether there can be security risks or how integrity is handled to overcome creepy hackers. The more ease and convenience digitalisation brings, the more risks and discrepancies arise that must be taken into account.

I know you need sensors to make all this possible, but what kind of sensors are they exactly? How much do you spend to integrate it into the physical form of the building? How exactly are they integrated? Do you use BIM before moving up to this stage?

Can u please tell details about this project

Hi how did you create the 3d model of your home?

[raoufayadi]

Which tools/programms can i use to create such a digital twin?

[abhijeetmurkute]

Sir, How to create model of Digital Twin implementation in Conditioning Monitoring of electric vehicle battery?

[Proftracy]

Level of efficiency when it comes to energy consumption.

I need to have some understanding of this concept and the technology.

It’s alien in my mind and my country Nigeria.

[davidswkong]

The 3D models look like it was made with Twinmotion?

[pravinbhandari]

Nice one. What’s the open source platform used?

[suzanahmed-zc]

hello. I was planning to do a school project. could you recommend me which software to use?

[ephremayf]

Great job. I'm going to try one for my unit.

[chavsny]

Anyone know what software he used? Or any recommendations?

[carlosg]

Can you control people that enter to your bedroom?

[Devilfish]

Nice Setup, have you calculated the difference in electricity bills between before and after the setup ?
