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, […]
