A digital twin represents a connection between a real object and the digital world. The twin consists of a digital model that is automatically updated with data from the real world and also automatically transfers changes from the digital world to the real world. We have created such a twin. In the second step, we focus on automated data exchange. Sensors for temperature and humidity record data from the real world; this data is stored and visualized in the VR environment. In addition, radiator thermostats in the virtual world can be used to set the desired room temperature. This information is transmitted to the thermostats in the real world.
