What it does:

  • Users can explore a virtual wind farm containing multiple turbines.
  • Each turbine reflects the real-time status of its corresponding real-world counterpart.
  • Users can inspect and focus on individual turbines to reveal information such as temperature, humidity, and other relevant data.
  • If a critical event is detected, like excessive ice buildup, users can trigger an action by clicking a button. This action sends a command to the real-world turbine through the Azure services.

Implementation Details:

  • Leverages assets sourced from Microsoft tutorials for a streamlined development process.

Please note: This repository focuses on the technical aspects of the wind farm digital twin, it is for learning purposes only and should no be considered as a production scenario.

The app requires a signalR connection and test code to pull sample Turbine data, refer to "mixed reality digital twins in unity" tutorial in Microsoft learn for details.

Future considerations:

  • Adding easy steps for testing using sample data.
  • Expansion of user interaction capabilities within the mixed reality environment.

This project demonstrates the power of combining Unity with Azure Digital Twin services to create a real-time, interactive digital twin solution for industrial applications.

Digital Twins, powered by the Unity engine, offer dynamic 3D simulations that improve understanding and enhance predictive analytical models. By enabling two-way data flow between the digital twin and real-world sensors or processes, organizations gain accurate insights. These simulations empower decision-makers to visualize scenarios, optimize operations, and respond swiftly to changing conditions.
