Most sectors of the economy are undergoing changes linked to their recent ability to leverage digital tools. This global process of digitization implies that we make use of digital solutions across various industries.
These digitization solutions all share the need for a “resource” in order to function: data.
The problem we solve is that, today, there is no standardized data for the real world. Datasets about the real world exist (like maps), but the key missing element is their compatibility between each other. What we provide is the infrastructure that integrates all the data about the real world, to make it usable in a digital solution. We create a point of reference (our 3D models) on top of which all types of geo-referenced data can be integrated. We call this data infrastructure the Mirrorworld.
The first most obvious societal benefit from using the mirrorworld, is the empowerment of all the green technologies: the mirrorworld provides a unique real-life simulation tool for all players in the green energy sector. For instance, simulating solar panels using the mirrorworld allows a city to identify where they would yield the greatest amount of energy, and help companies in this sector to generate adoption, by “proving” the efficiency of their solution, using mirrorworld simulation. Another societal benefit will be the Smart City concept: providing an integrated grid that compiles data of the city, the Mirrorworld, we enable cities to use the data of the world to do data-driven decision making: they can simulate the impact of their construction projects on air pollution (traffic simulation), on the environment (fluid dynamics modelling), or even run analytics on energy consumption to see how to optimize recycling or how to better mutualise resources between neighbouroods.
Another key benefit to society is that the mirrorworld allows for the fastest technology transfer from the high tech countries to the least developed countries: by having a coherent dataset of the world, any solution created using the mirrorworld becomes instantly usable in all the locations where this mirrorworld is accessible.
To solve all these challenges, our objectives are straightforward:
- We want to create the mirrorworld “skeleton”
- We want to maximize their compatibility and integration with existing datasets
- We want to create tools for developer to start using our mirrorworld as a sandbox for all the smart digital solutions of the future
- We want to create an ecosystem of data providers, developers, and end-users that all access and use the mirrorworld through the Nomoko platform
To achieve these long term objectives, we focus on:
- Creating the first mirrorcities
- Integrating the data from 3rd parties
- Creating the first spatial applications that use this mirrorworld, to inspire others and showcase that the future can happen today
