Digital twins

Leverage Unity’s technology for digital transformation with connected, dynamic digital twins that unlock and unleash the full power of data for better decision-making.

What is a digital twin?

A digital twin is a dynamic virtual copy of a physical asset, process, system or environment that looks like and behaves identically to its real-world counterpart. A digital twin ingests data and replicates processes so you can predict possible performance outcomes and issues that the real-world product might undergo.

Niko Moreira, Specialist, Sitowise

“Without tools like Unity, we would not be able to offer cost-effective digital twin solutions the same way we are doing now. With Unity constantly improving its product, we can confidently innovate and bring cutting-edge solutions to life.”

Gregg Pasquarelli, Founding Principal, SHoP Architects

“A digital twin means you can test and solve problems before they’re in the real world. So I can’t think of anything more important, both from a design, construction, and carbon footprint perspective, as digital twins.”

Why power digital twins with Unity

Leading data ingestion and optimization technology

Bring data from virtually any format (e.g., BIM, CAD) and system (e.g., PLM, ERP, IoT) into Unity for interactive visualization. Our data prep tools import and optimize over 70 formats into a fused, augmented real-time representation of physical assets.

Best-in-class, flexible creation tools

Build and deploy interactive digital twins rapidly and efficiently with the world’s leading real-time 3D platform and other complementary products that enable you to easily create, edit and iterate interactive 3D content, in real-time.

Multiuser interactive collaboration

Expand access to 3D content beyond design and engineering groups. Empower teams across your organization, no matter their location or tech-savviness, to interact with digital twins on mobile phones, tablets, PCs, and AR and VR devices.

Dynamic visualization across devices and platforms

Industry-leading support for more than 20 platforms, including HoloLens, Quest, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and more. Unity is also the leading platform for creating content for AR and VR applications and powers 90% of head-worn AR experiences.

Global developer community

Easily tap into the technical talent you need to build cutting-edge solutions. Our large, active global community of 1.6 million real-time 3D creators spans 190 countries and territories.

Advanced simulation services

Arrive at the right decision faster with Unity’s solutions for sensor and robotics emulation, performance-optimized simulation testing and training, and more.
