Wellington Digital Twin

The Boundary documents an interactive Wellington city model created with Wellington City Council and city data. The case study describes combining spatial visualization with real-time activity to support decisions. It provides images and implementation information, but a currently operational public browser viewer is not verified in this listing.

Buildmedia’s Digital Twin of Wellington | Build: Architecture 2021

Publisher: Unreal Engine · Published 2021-11-03

Historical demonstration

Buildmedia presents its Unreal Engine-powered Wellington city model at Build: Architecture 2021. The presentation discusses combining visualization with sensor, spatial, building and infrastructure data for multi-agency decisions and public engagement. The Boundary later acquired Buildmedia and retains the Wellington case study. This historical recording does not independently establish today’s operating status.
