Content for new DIGITAL TWINS project Page (See .psd file for reference) Digital Twin Te Ihu o Mataoho utilises digital twin technology to more deeply understand the state of the natural waterways and the current water infrastructure systems in order to better service and to support the growth of a papakāinga development at Ihumaatao. In collaboration with Te Ahiwaru and Nextspace (platform providers), the digital twin Te Ihu o Mataoho project led by Dr Jenny Lee – Morgan offers the potential for importan t knowledge be represented and visualised in powerful ways that are accessible and connected to the community. The creation of a digital twin through its ability to centralise, co – ordinate and improve availability of information will be invaluable to Te Ah iwaru in their continued land development and at a broad level, the expression of tino rangatiratanga over their whenua and wai.
