The project goal will be to develop a digital twin of the Learning Factory spaces within the Engineering Design and Innovation (EDI) building that allows users to gain a better understanding of the real-time use and layout of the space, leveraging a 3D model and sensor data.  The team will first develop a digital twin (DT) plan that documents the DT goal and use case(s) by meeting with the project mentors and end users.  They will then explore the different data sources available and develop a prototype of the Learning Factory Digital Twin, leveraging a detailed 3D model in Revit for the EDI building.  The Digital Twin could be developed in a gaming platform, such as Unreal Engine or Unity, or using another digital twin solution platform.  The team should explore different options for prototype development.  Following the development of the prototype, the team should gain feedback from potential users, including shop supervisors, faculty, and students.
