Digital Twins: The Confluence of Virtual Reality With IoT

Virtual reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of the most important technologies to arise in the past decade or more. Taken individually, each technology represents a real sea change. VR has the potential to truly change the world in some surprising ways, while the IoT has already transformed the way we live our lives. Digital Twins is the confluence of these two developments, though, that offers the most promise and opportunity of all. VR applications promise to be the next mainstream business. They are used by companies in a wide range of industries, from product design to healthcare and employee training. At the same time, IoT platforms and related devices are much in demand in today's tech and business world. These smart devices connected to the Internet are capable of collecting, interpreting, and relaying data without human intervention or supervision.
