The Digital Twin of the Alpine Region South Tyrol: Reality Reimagined.

We source most of our topographic foundations, terrain models, and landscape data from official, publicly available provincial geodata (MapView / GeoBrowser South Tyrol). We process this high-precision data and import it directly into Unreal Engine 5 as an authentic, true-to-scale foundation.

DoloTwin combines authentic geospatial data with visual simulation technology. When generating 3D environments, we rely on publicly accessible datasets, official elevation models, and guidelines for depicting publicly visible spaces (similar to the standards applied by services like Google Street View). For project-specific visualizations, we work directly with our partners' CAD and BIM models, whose usage and intellectual property rights remain fully with the architects and project developers.

Behind the project are the two of us, brothers Martin and Thomas Taschler. We have been developing the technological foundation and platform concept for around 6 years (since approx. 2020). Both founders bring sound business and managerial expertise to the company.

Thomas Taschler: Thomas contributed his extensive technical knowledge in systems architecture and IT infrastructure. His solid experience in network engineering and programming was crucial to DoloTwin's core technical architecture. As founder of the Southtyrol Gaming Alliance, he is also heavily committed to the regional digital community.

Martin Taschler: The visual and strategic direction of the original DoloTwin vision bears Martin's distinct signature. The concept phase integrated his comprehensive expertise in 3D modeling, UI/UX, and game design, along with his enthusiasm for the possibilities of Unreal Engine 5 and artificial intelligence. Shaped by years of executive leadership in the public sector (including heading a regional social district with budget and personnel responsibility), his strategic foresight and holistic conceptual approach contributed decisively to the vision and founding of the project.

Generative image AI tools create two-dimensional, probability-based illusions. They lack fundamental architectural comprehension, operate without accurate dimensional scales, and hallucinate details, rendering them unsuitable for verifiable planning workflows. DoloTwin delivers the clear alternative: deterministic, interactive, and physically accurate 3D simulations. We integrate your precise BIM/CAD models into an authentic environment and simulate hard facts – from true-to-scale geographic context to precise shadow casting powered by Unreal Engine 5's Lumen technology.

Traditional renderings are static, require expensive hardware, and tie up valuable studio resources with lengthy offline rendering times. DoloTwin operates in real time, enabling immediate spatial walkthroughs of the project without days of rendering delays. Furthermore, outsourcing to us transforms heavy capital investments in workstations (CAPEX) into flexible, project-based operational expenses (OPEX).

No. We consider ourselves your technology partner and provide our service as Hardware-as-a-Service. This means we can rent you a pre-configured VR kit (Virtual Reality) upon request for key client meetings or competition presentations. You can offer your clients an immersive, walkable experience without carrying the hardware investment risk yourself.

We only need the existing, authentic BIM or CAD models of your design. We then take care of the precise, photorealistic integration into our digital twin of South Tyrol.
