The course introduces digital twins, their main functionalities and introduces some of the application areas DTs have been used in. The focus of the first part is on designing for digital twin applications and services and understanding the design space. The second part will be on design and research with digital twin and how to deploy DT tech as part of a design process in all design stages.Deliverables
