Sometimes, there are people who are said to be very similar to us or are called doppelgangers. Now in the future, it is predicted that there will really be twins with us, only that they are virtual, living in the digital world. Yes, later there will be a virtual twin.
Even now, what exists in the real world seems to exist in the digital world. So, even virtual twins are expected to become a reality soon.
According to experts, as quoted by us from the BBC, the digital twin is truly a replica of the one in the real world. As for its use, it is to help its twin in the real world or give advice.
At first, the twin may be a sophisticated 3D computer model. But when later combined with artificial intelligence and internet of things sensors, it could be that the twins can learn on their own.
Tech analyst Rob Enderle believes that the first versions of virtual twins will appear before the end of the decade. Its presence needs to be considered ethically and there are rules.
"What happens for example if your company creates your digital twin and says, hey digital twins don't need a salary, so why are we still hiring you?" said Rob.
In today's metaverse world, there is already a kind of twin in the form of an avatar, although it is not sophisticated. Many shortcomings, such as not similar, not much use, not even have legs. But later the situation could be different.
Currently, there are several parties who make virtual twins, even though they are not human. For example, Singapore created its urban digital twin in order to better maintain and design it.
