Potential uses and Helsinki’s applications

Kalasatama Digital Twins Pilot Project’s Final Report


The general objective of the KIRA-digi pilot project (15.5.2018 - 31.1.2019) was to produce digital twins of the Kalasatama area. The models serve as a platform for designing, testing, applying and servicing the entire lifecycle of the built environment, as well as smart city development. An accurate, up-to-date model of an existing city structure and the future plans will enable the development of processes, practices and services based on 3D technology. Digital twin models at their best realize this idea of planning, testing and building things digitally first.

Videos

These videos showcase Helsinki’s 3D city models, as well as their benefits and possibilities for cities, among others actors.

View the city information model

The city information model allows you to view not only the city’s buildings and information on them, but also the city’s terrain model.

View the reality mesh model

The reality mesh model allows you to examine Helsinki as it was in summer 2015 and visit places that you might not think to go to otherwise.
