A Cross Reality Application for a Hydrogen Pipeline Digital Twin

Cross Reality, as an emerging technology, bridges different spaces along the Reality-Virtuality Continuum and has the potential to support understanding, decision-making, and data analysis. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence to demonstrate the benefit of CR in serious tasks. Meanwhile, more and more researchers have started looking into using Digital Twins, virtual representations of physical objects that interconnect with physical objects in real-time, on various industrial tasks. Digital Twins are naturally compatible with Cross Reality by their multi-reality essence. This position proposes an initial idea of prototyping a Cross Reality application for the digital twin of the hydrogen pipeline center for monitoring, controlling, and simulating experiments.
