Creating 3D computer models of entire reefs – sometimes known as digital twins – can help researchers monitor these precious ecosystems faster and more accurately than ever before.

We also argue that several well-known ecosystem models are unsatisfactory in this regard. Then we present the open-source ecosystem simulator Ecotwin, which is built on top of the game engine Unity.

3D model video visualisation of a 50m×20m reef restoration area. In an earlier 2024 study, our team applied photogrammetry to measure coral growth rates at the level of individual colonies.By ...

For a long time, it had been an outstanding research problem, but 3DBAG has turned the large-scale automatic reconstruction of detailed 3D building models into reality. Developed within the 3D ...

404-GEN today announced it has become the first decentralized 3D model generation platform to integrate with Unity. ... “This integration is an important step for our ecosystem.

Our new study shows how creating 3D computer models of entire reefs—sometimes known as digital twins—can help us monitor these precious ecosystems faster, more accurately and in greater detail ...
