Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation

DIGITAL TWIN

6,000 Sq Ft | 200+ Items

In just 11 weeks, 17 Digital Media and IT animation students created a virtual replica of the CAMS space and assets, forming a high-fidelity digital twin. This immersive environment supports day-to-day operations, enables AI-driven hospital planning, and offers future applications for VR-based training for medical staff and foreign credential recognition.

The project was featured in TechLifeToday magazine.

Creating a Studio

Production pipeline process

With so many models, students and steps, we needed a process. We created a mini studio with five teams. Each team had a leader, item creation process, quality checks, revisions and client reviews.

As future years take on this project, they will have detailed notes of each item found in our project tracking spreadsheets and handover documents.

Creating 200 Items

The client wanted to be able to choose from a database of 200+ items they could drag and drop in and out of the environment. This would allow for customizable room layouts. One sub-team focused on these items.

To ensure item consistency, we created a modeling manual to check the model and verify its quality. Each model started with detailed measurements to record dimensions, followed by the basic shape, to the final item.

Items varied from simple to complex.

Building Mannequins

A series of mannequins exists for the simulation series. One team developed protocols to build these mannequins, created base mannequins, and then developed all the variations from that point.

Texturing

Painting the Objects

Every item then needed textures. This team developed a consistency manual, then began the laborious process of unfolding every item to begin painting it.

Care was taken to hide seams, add decals and the correct materials.
