Beyond Digital Twins

Introducing the Memory Twin for Cultural Heritage

The Memory Twin extends the Digital Twin concept by addressing the challenges of preserving digital cultural heritage holistically. Unlike traditional Digital Twins, which focus on physical attributes, the Memory Twin integrates paradata, metadata, and data to provide a comprehensive representation of cultural assets. This layered approach ensures the preservation of historical significance, contextual narratives, and physical characteristics. By embedding contextual and structural information, Memory Twins transform static digital copies into dynamic, interactive resources. This framework enhances accessibility, supports advanced archival practices, and fosters immersive user experiences. As an adaptable solution, the Memory Twin enriches both tangible and intangible heritage, offering innovative strategies for preservation and engagement in the digital age.
