EMBODIED DIGITAL TWINS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS

The synergies of advances in environmental sensing and modeling and the mainstreaming of immersive technologies lay the foundation for a theoretical grounding of embodied digital twins. Embodied digital twins draw on an established understanding of the importance of place for environmental sciences...
