realvirtual Documentation

The browser-based platform for delivering, operating and planning with your digital twin — no installation, no account, open source.

Getting started Try the live demo

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

realvirtual brings an industrial digital twin into the browser as a 3D viewer, HMI and machine information surface. A prepared GLB keeps geometry and realvirtual metadata together, so operators, maintenance teams and planners can open the same delivered twin without learning Unity or installing a viewer.

Use it in standalone mode for an interactive model, or connect it to live controller data for machine monitoring. Planning and discrete event simulation are available as beta workspaces for layouts and material-flow studies.

Open source and commercial

Section titled “Open source and commercial”

The viewer, its simulation runtime and the Layout Planner are open source under AGPL-3.0, so opening, operating and planning with a delivered twin costs nothing. Commercial licences cover the authoring side — the Asset & Kinematics Editor, CAD import — and a few calculation kernels such as robot IK, machining and discrete event simulation. The public demo runs the full commercial feature set in your browser without a licence, so you can try all of it before deciding. See what you get for the complete split.

These pages document realvirtual, the browser platform. realvirtual for Unity — the Unity-based engineering platform, Starter and Professional — has its own documentation at doc.realvirtual.io.

1. Build the twin

Import CAD in the Editor and add kinematics, drives, signals and snap points.

The workflow

2. Choose the use case

Layout planning, virtual commissioning, discrete event simulation or the machine information system (3D HMI).

Use cases

3. Deliver and operate

Share the twin as a link, host it yourself, or connect it to live controller data with realvirtual CONNECT.

Quick Start

Section titled “Quick Start”
  1. Read the workflow — build the twin once, then use it for your use case.
  2. Open a twin from a URL, a local GLB or the public demo, and learn the navigation.
  3. Build your own with Your First Twin from CAD.
  4. Continue with your use case: Layout Planning, Virtual Commissioning, DES or the Machine Information System (3D HMI).
