Abstract

Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology in the world, the debate over the concept of metaverse has exploded, while various new technologies, concepts and scenarios geared towards metaverse have emerged and various industries are making their presence felt. The digital twin has also become one of the core technologies for building metaverse. The digital twin, it can be argued, is the closest technology to comprehending the metaverse, and it provides the best technical support for the digitisation of architecture and cities. Originating from digital design, virtual simulation and the industrial internet, the digital twin as a concept that transcends reality is essentially a simulation process that brings together multiple dimensions and disciplines by playing with data from multiple aspects, including physical models and sensors, to map reality in virtual space, thus corresponding to the full lifecycle of an entity. This paper examines the application of the digital twin in smart construction and its advantages and disadvantages, and analyses the research topic through a case study approach, thus illustrating the significance of the digital twin for smart construction. The paper also concludes that the digital twin has the advantages of accurate mapping, interaction between reality and reality, and intelligent intervention in the construction industry, but also has certain shortcomings in terms of data awareness and software.
