Design Concepts of an Innovative EU Digital Twin of the Ocean Marketplace Presented at an International Event in Rome, Italy
Date Published
Si Keeble, director of Blue Lobster IT presents the design and plan for the development of an innovative European Digital Twins of Ocean (DTO) Marketplace and Interactive Environment (IE).
During the 2nd General Assembly of the EU's flagship Digital Twin of the Ocean project (Iliad), Si ran a workshop dedicated to the design and development of the Iliad DTO Interactive Environment. The workshop, which took place on 24th January 2023 at the Sapienza University of Rome, was attended by members of the Iliad science and stakeholder consortium.
The Iliad DTO Interactive Environment will supersede the current Iliad project website to become a product-focused web platform. The new Interactive Environment will provide access to the Iliad products and services including the Digital Twins (DTs), Marketplace, Project information, Iliad Academy, and TwinLab.
The designs and concepts were based on user research and a review of existing systems featuring front-end interfaces with strong UX and UI elements. User research on User Experience (UX) and User Interfaces (UI) was carried out during a dedicated workshop, which was held at the Iliad Plenary Meeting, 7-9 June 2022, Athens, Greece. The review of existing systems was carried out by fellow Iliad Partner, Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUAS).
