A highly elaborate digital twin of Singapore is headed to the metaverse

SINGAPORE, June 6 — Singapore has been entirely modelled in 3D thanks to a local startup, which now aims to bring it into the metaverse. This virtual version of Singapore will also be used by professionals who wish to market their products, as well as for games and leisure purposes.

This feat was achieved by Singaporean startup Vizzio Technologies, which used thousands of satellite photos and, through the power of artificial intelligence, was able to reconstruct the entire city, block by block, street by street, with painstaking precision. It should be noted that Vizzio doesn’t intend to stop at Singapore and hopes to be able to “clone” other large cities digitally in the near future.

But Vizzio isn’t stopping there; it intends to use all this data to create a virtual version of Singapore in the metaverse. While Singapore’s entry into the metaverse is its most comprehensive version to date, the country launched its first digital twin, called Virtual Singapore, back in 2014. It was primarily intended to test new technologies and support policy decisions.
