Students from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn have developed a digital twin of a campus building as part of a practical geoinformatics and surveying project. The model recreates both the exterior and interior of the structure using advanced 3D scanning and spatial data technologies.The project involved collecting real-world measurements and transforming them into a detailed digital model through methods such as Reality Capture and Scan-to-BIM. This approach converts point-cloud data from scans into a parametric Building Information Model (BIM), allowing accurate visualization and analysis of the building.Digital twins can support building management throughout its life cycle, from design and construction to maintenance and renovation. They also allow simulations, monitoring of technical conditions, and planning future modifications.The project helped students gain hands-on experience with modern geospatial technologies while demonstrating how digital models can be applied in architecture, engineering, and facility management.
