Open Geospatial Data Integration in Game Engine for Urban Digital Twin Applications

Increasing interest has recently been shown towards the digital twins of cities. These urban digital twins utilize 3D city models together with other data sources, such as open data, which can be accessed, e.g., through application programming interfaces (APIs). A large amount of open geospatial dat...
