With both GIS and Digital Twin technologies rapidly evolving and increasingly overlapping into the field of AI, the ability to integrate and combine these capabilities offers a creative potential greater than the sum of their individual parts.
CityEngine is a 3D design solution for creating and iterating on urban environments and scenarios, using either synthetic or real-world GIS data. Developers are building solutions on NVIDIA Omniverse to solve the world’s most significant challenges, ranging from city scale to planetary scale and everything in between. At the heart of this technology is the ability to perform simulations on physically accurate virtual replicas of unique objects, processes, and environments.
This paper explored various practical implications and considerations on how both CityEngine and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms can be applied to several Smart City use cases using Dell PowerEdge R760xa servers as the foundational building blocks.
We demonstrated:
- How CityEngine can be used in standalone environments.
- CityEngine interoperability with applications developed on Omniverse.
- Enhanced 3D City simulation capabilities using CityEngine and Omniverse in concert.
