Gaussian Visuals Brings Realism to Digital Twins – What Does It Mean for Industry?
Digital twins have long been powerful tools in industrial design, production optimisation, maintenance, and training. Now, new 3D visualisation methods such as Gaussian Visuals are taking their realism – and their practical value – to the next level.
What is Gaussian Visuals?
Gaussian Visuals is a method developed by SolidComp, based on modern Gaussian Splatting technology, which creates photorealistic and interactive 3D models of real environments. Unlike traditional point clouds or heavy 3D mesh models, Gaussian Visuals uses millions of “Gaussian splats” to achieve striking realism. The result is flexible, quick to render, and remarkably close to reality – an ideal foundation for a digital twin.
Presenting data visually improves shared understanding and speeds up communication. Immersive, near-photoreal environments provide a highly engaging and trustworthy working platform. Combined with the broader functionality of Reality Twin – such as effortless user management for unlimited users and simple data accessibility – Gaussian Visuals unlocks new, efficiency-driven ways of working.
Gaussian Visuals in Maintenance
When a digital twin displays an environment in lifelike detail, maintenance engineers can pinpoint devices, components, and service targets with exceptional accuracy. This reduces errors and accelerates decision-making, as potential issues become visible before a physical site visit is even required.
Training and Onboarding in a Realistic Virtual Environment
Introducing new employees becomes easier when they can move through a virtual copy of the actual factory setting. The realism provided by Gaussian Visuals helps them grasp layouts, routes, and equipment as they are in reality, which accelerates learning and strengthens retention. Reality Twin can also be configured as a complete training environment with information points and guided pathways.
Realism in Safety Training Scenarios
Safety training can simulate risk situations in a realistic environment without exposing anyone to danger. Workers can practise emergency evacuations, protective equipment use, and hazard recognition in lifelike virtual exercises.
Gaussian Visuals in Reality Twin
Gaussian Visuals raises the visual quality of the digital twin to a new standard, making it an even more powerful tool for maintenance, training, and safety.
When a virtual environment feels real, decision-making, learning, and collaboration all become faster and more effective. In SolidComp’s Reality Twin, Gaussian Visuals functions as a new layer, working seamlessly alongside existing data sources such as 3D models, point clouds, mesh models, 360° images, and photographs.
