Original Abstract Submitted
a method establishes a virtual reality environment for simulating operation of the digital twin model and operates the digital twin model in the virtual reality environment. the digital twin model receives operational parameters from the virtual reality environment in order to determine operational effectiveness of the digital twin model in operating within the virtual reality environment. the method further enables a user to visualize the operation of the digital twin model in the virtual reality environment. in certain embodiments, the method provides a second digital twin model of a second physical object and operates the second digital twin model in the virtual reality environment along with the first digital twin model. this may enable assessment of the interaction between the two digital twin models and/or how operation of one digital twin model may affect operation of the other digital twin model. a corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
