NYC Real-Time Digital Twin City Assistant
davidfromkansas · x · 2026-07-11
The author created a "digital twin" application for NYC, allowing users to browse the city's real-time status from home.
It tracks air traffic, subways, buses, ferries, Citi Bikes, vehicle speeds, surveillance cameras, 311 complaints, weather, news headlines, and even bird migration paths. The author also built a "City Concierge" that reads city data and directly manipulates the simulated environment to help users find local information and places.
