Official Winner — Digital Twin Awards 2026
Recognized for real-world use of digital environments — not just visualization.
This project demonstrates how digital environments can be used in real operations — for navigation, engagement, and coordination in complex public spaces.
Hiller Aviation Museum — Navigation and engagement at scale
Hiller Aviation Museum is a large public venue showcasing aviation history and hosting events.
Visitors and teams needed a way to understand and navigate the full space — without being physically on-site.
