3D Scenes Studio – build immersive Azure Digital Twins

Hey OlivierBloch ,

Different things in mind actually :).

Just to mention a few of them:

• richer experiences in terms of UX and value (not only richer 3D models or better rendering but richer value):
  
  • richer UI interactions;
  • integration with other systems of information that would not be accessible at ADT level, whatever the reasons would be;
  • extensions with "local intelligence/Edge" (AI or business models, predictive models, simulation models, more reactive risks/threat analysis and representation experiences, etc);
  • related to the last two points, extensions with local data that would never be sent to the cloud, whatever the reasons would be (confidentiality, security, volume, etc);
  • local commands (in the case commands or actions need to be executed and that cannot go through the C2D regular IoT flow);
  • hardware integration, potentially useful for the previous point.
• lower latencies, better performances and better data flow management (babylonJs does an amazing work -congrats to the team, btw- but it is still web-based with all its inherent "limitations"):
  • better and broader parallelization;
  • local caching;
  • richer models (in terms of complexity but also, details).
• off line oriented solutions (even though ADT is a cloud service). By the way, any plan to deliver ADT in "Edge" mode in the future?
• install the "desktop" application directly in the machines with a projection of part of the whole model (limited to a given set of information, for performances but also functional or security needs). I guess this could be also done with the web version but the desktop version would be more adapted to this.

I guess the more we go into the details, the more we will see additional use cases.

It is true that the delivery of a web solution is much easier and that will probably cover a lot of needs. But going beyond that first step, I feel there is considerable additional value to extract from a desktop application.
I am aware that I am not taking into account the effort to be done to deliver that additional value, which would be another interesting topic.

Let me know if I have answered your question (and as usual, feel free to challenge everything ;)).
