NNTC collaborates with Abu Dhabi Housing Authority to adopt digital twin for housing projects
T he Abu Dhabi Housing Authority has announced the adoption of digital twin technology to showcase its housing projects . This initiative focuses on 3D realtime visualisation of housing options . Additionally , through collaboration with NNTC , a company in digital twin technologies in the UAE , the Authority offers an integrated virtual experience where individuals can explore housing options that best suit their needs and book them interactively .
Supported by advanced technologies like Unreal Engine 5 and NVIDIA ’ s DLSS technology , the system enables the full visualisation of the internal and external layouts of more than 3,000 houses . Users can virtually tour residential complexes and view the various infrastructure , facilities , and the available services .
Via integration with Geographic Information Systems , GIS , the system also provides housing details , simplifying the real-time
viewing of available units and booking process . Additionally , the integration of Geographic Information Systems , GIS through the system simplify the actual booking process .
The solution is accessible via digital kiosks at the ISKAN Abu Dhabi Center or through the ISKAN Abu Dhabi application , which consolidates all the authority ’ s services under one smart application
His Excellency Hamad Hareb Al Muhairi , Director General of Abu Dhabi Housing Authority , said : “ We look forward to leveraging the adoption of these modern technologies to showcase ADHA ’ s housing projects through an advanced system that simulates reality . This aligns with our continuous efforts to develop more technologies to enhance our customers ’ experience and empower them to make informed decisions regarding their housing needs .”

We are proud to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority on this project and anticipate the positive impact on its services .”
New reality capture platform service leverages Trimble Connect to maximise the value of geospatial data for millions of users
T rimble has announced its new Trimble Reality Capture platform service to enable more effective collaboration and the secure sharing of massive reality capture datasets captured with 3D laser scanning , mobile mapping and uncrewed aerial vehicle ( UAV ) systems . The service is available as an extension to Trimble Connect , a cloud-based common data environment and collaboration platform that has supported more than 30 million users to date . This service is the most recent addition to the Trimble connected workflow ecosystem , connecting the physical and digital worlds and unlocking the transformative power of reality capture data .
Built to drive deeper collaboration among owners , contractors , surveyors and more , the Trimble Reality Capture platform service offers a secure and intuitive web-based solution for point clouds and 360-degree imagery . Professionals across building construction , surveying , transportation infrastructure , utilities , energy , mining and more can now collaborate on complex reality capture projects faster and easier , while maintaining data integrity by retaining original accuracy .
“ The new Trimble Reality Capture platform service enables our workforce to more easily access data and collaborate between the jobsite and office , creating additional efficiencies across our operations ,” said Christopher Pynn , Digital Leader at Laing O ’ Rourke for Eastern Freeway – Burke to Tram Alliance . “ Having a single place for designers , engineers and other stakeholders to review and inspect project data is a real leap forward .”
