A New Era of Realism: Transforming Digital Twins with Gaussian Splatting
- 13 March 2026
Digital twins, the virtual replicas of physical infrastructure, are undergoing a major transformation thanks to a new technology called Gaussian splatting. Traditionally, these models were built using "meshes," which acted like a hollow, polygonal skin stretched over objects. While useful, meshes often struggled to capture fine details like thin wires, complex lighting, or reflective surfaces, li...

How Smart Software Connects Colombia’s Most Remote Towns
- 11 March 2026
Colombia’s state-owned airline, SATENA, is now using advanced engineering software to make life-saving flights safer and more frequent. While most people think of infrastructure as physical things like bridges or roads, SATENA uses a tool called Bentley MicroStation to build "invisible" roads in the sky. In the rugged mountains and dense jungles of Colombia, a road isn't always an option. For man...
