Enabling high-resolution, high-accuracy reality capture to accelerate the adoption of digital twins across industries and applications

BOSTON, MA – JUNE 18, 2026 – The Digital Twin Consortium® (DTC) announced a liaison agreement with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), a leading scientific and professional organization dedicated to advancing the geospatial and mapping sciences. ASPRS recognizes the transformative potential of digital twin technologies across infrastructure, environmental, and urban systems.

“We are excited about working with ASPRS  to contribute to creating and developing digital twin technology. As digital transformation continues to accelerate across industries, the digital twins have emerged as a powerful enabler of digital transform including driving greater operational efficiency, enhanced predictive analytics, and optimizing strategic planning,” said Dan Isaacs, GM & CTO of Digital Twin Consortium.

“ASPRS experience in developing guidelines and standards for creating high-resolution, high-accuracy geospatial data will be very valuable as we work together to advance the use of digital twins across all industries,” continued Isaacs.

“Through this partnership, ASPRS seeks to collaborate with the DTC in advancing standards, best practices, and knowledge-sharing initiatives that promote high-accuracy, data-driven digital twin ecosystems,” said Srini Dharmapuri, Chair of the ASPRS Digital Twin Working Group.

The two groups have agreed to the following:

• Realizing interoperability by harmonizing technology components and other elements
• Aligning work in DTC Capabilities and Technology for adoption within vertical domains through proof of value projects and use cases, including:
  • Composable and Architectural Frameworks,
  • Advanced Capabilities and Technology showcases
  • Security and Trustworthiness applications
  • Conceptual, informational, structural, and behavioral models
  • Enabling technologies such as AR, VR, AI, and other advancements
  • Case study development from initial concept through operational analysis

Digital Twin Consortium will exchange information through regular consultations, seminars, and training development vehicles.
