Unity Verified Solution Partner“Digital Twin” means everything and nothing. What matters is what you do with it – visualize machines for sales, run plant simulation before building, test PLC code without hardware, or monitor live production in 3D. realvirtual.io is the industrial 3D simulation platform that covers all of it.
One Simulation Platform – Many Use Cases
Sales & Visualization
Present machines interactively in 3D before they're built. Let customers explore, configure variants, and experience your automation solution live – on desktop, tablet, VR headset, or directly in the browser. Far more convincing than slides, far more accessible than installed software. Shorten your sales cycle and win projects with high-end 3D visualization.
Robot & Plant Simulation
Validate collision paths, measure cycle times, and prove feasibility – all in a behavior-accurate plant simulation with real drive and sensor logic, not just keyframe animation. Whether it's conveyor systems, AGVs, or complex multi-axis machines: catch problems in the planning phase before they cost real money on the shop floor.
Virtual Commissioning
Connect real PLCs (Siemens, Beckhoff, Rockwell) and robot controllers (ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, Fanuc) to the digital twin. Virtual commissioning software that lets you test and ramp up automation code before hardware ships. Reduce on-site commissioning time by up to 75%, improve software quality, and eliminate costly last-minute fixes.
AI Training
Generate large-scale synthetic training data for industrial vision systems – object detection, classification, segmentation, and pose estimation. Train YOLO-based models with one click, test them in the running digital twin, and deploy as standard ONNX models. Your digital twin becomes the data factory for industrial AI.
3D Machine Information System
An interactive 3D machine information system connected to real PLCs via WebSocket and realvirtual CONNECT. Real-time machine status, sensor readings, KPI dashboards, and error management – all in 3D context. Link PDF documents, maintenance guides, and datasheets directly to machine components. Browse signal values live, trace error sources visually, and access documentation exactly where it's needed. Replace traditional 2D HMI with a spatial experience that operators, service technicians, and managers actually understand.
Built on a Proven Real-Time 3D Foundation
Why reinvent the wheel? Instead of a proprietary rendering engine with limited capabilities, realvirtual.io builds on proven technology: Unity, the world's leading real-time 3D engine, for engineering – and open web standards (Three.js, React, WebGL) for delivery in the browser. A battle-tested, continuously evolving foundation – not a proprietary dead end.
Build Once, Deploy Everywhere
One project compiles to Windows, Linux, macOS, WebGL, iOS, Android, Meta Quest, HoloLens, Apple Vision Pro. Deliver the digital twin with every machine you sell – as a 3D experience your customers actually use. With realvirtual WEB you share it in any browser – viewing never needs a license.
No Lock-in: Full Source Code
Complete C# source code, the AGPL-licensed WEB viewer on GitHub, GLB as an open exchange format. Your twin stays yours – even if we disappeared tomorrow. Extend, customize, and integrate without artificial restrictions.
Real-Time Performance
Real-time physics, high-fidelity rendering, and 60fps performance – even for complex machines with thousands of parts.
Massive Ecosystem
Access thousands of Unity packages, assets, and plugins. VR/AR, AI (Sentis), physics (PhysX, Algoryx), and more – ready to integrate.
From Engineering to Everyone
With realvirtual.io, the digital twin becomes a product you deliver – an interactive 3D experience you embed in your sales process and use for commissioning, training, and service. Deliver realvirtual WEB as a machine information system with every machine you ship – browser-based, always up to date. Not just an expert tool for engineers – useful across the entire lifecycle from first sale to daily operation and maintenance.
Import & Build
Import CAD data (STEP, SolidWorks, CATIA), define kinematics, add drives, sensors, and PLC interfaces – all inside the Unity Editor.
Simulate & Commission
Connect real PLCs and robot controllers. Test automation logic, validate timing, and debug – before hardware ships.
Export to WEB
realvirtual.io Professional exports your digital twin as a single GLB file – geometry, kinematics, signal bindings, and all metadata included.
Share a Link
realvirtual WEB loads the GLB in the browser. Operators, customers, and service teams interact with the live digital twin – no Unity installation needed.
Open in the browser, local on your side
Share your digital twin with anyone – customers, operators, service technicians – through a single link. Built on open web technologies: Three.js for 3D rendering, React for interactive UI development. No installation, no login, no cloud dependency.
Open Web Technologies
Built on Three.js and React – industry-standard open-source libraries. Create custom HMI dashboards, interactive controls, and data overlays with the web frameworks your team already knows.
Fully Local & Private
Host on your own infrastructure or any CDN, without a mandatory cloud account and without being tied to us. Sensitive machine data, production layouts, and IP never leave your network. The 3D rendering runs on the device itself, so there is no GPU farm and no streaming infrastructure to operate.
No Login Required
Open a link and interact with the 3D model – without a sign-up and without a detour through an app store. Share freely with customers and partners.
One Link, Any Device
Desktop, tablet, smartphone, VR headset – WebGL, WebGPU, and WebXR supported out of the box. True cross-platform without app stores.
Your customer opens the digital twin in any browser – local, free, no license, no account.
Simulation studies, machine documentation, and 3D models travel freely to their recipients. Everything runs locally in the browser – your machine data stays with you. Viewing never needs a license, and nothing is tied to our cloud.
Developed in Germany – open in code, open to new technology.
AI-Native Simulation Platform
Control, build, and debug your digital twin in plain language – from Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot. The open-source MCP Server with 150+ tools connects AI agents live to the Unity Editor and to realvirtual WEB – public on GitHub, verifiable, extensible.
MCP Server
150+ built-in tools let AI agents control both the Unity Editor and realvirtual WEB in real time – navigate the scene, drive actuators, read sensors, write PLC signals, and automate testing. Open source and extensible.
Prompt Your Digital Twin
Ask your AI coding agent to add a conveyor, connect a PLC signal, debug a sensor, or generate a test sequence – in plain language. The MCP Server connects to both realvirtual.io in Unity and realvirtual WEB in the browser. Your digital twin responds in real time.

What Our Customers Say
Real voices – from the Unity Asset Store and from industry projects
"We are building our MIS on realvirtual.io. Decision was driven by its architecture: a Unity-based authoring and virtual commissioning environment, self-hosted web runtime, and structured metadata across the machine lifecycle – a combo hard to find."
"As a PLC programmer I'm using RV Professional now since over 1 year and I love this all-in-one-solution to create machine simulations and easily connect to PLC for virtual commissioning. It can get quite complex but you will get great support by the RV team."
"Unity’s open ecosystem makes virtual commissioning scalable. High-fidelity visualization, CAD integration, and real-time physics, helps us create realistic digital twins to optimize automation, enabling faster, safer, more efficient commissioning."
"My goal has been to rebuild a full line developed in Process Simulate – a car manufacturing line for body in white, including tooling tables, robots, weld guns and material handling. My first impression of realvirtual is that it is super intuitive – the base information found online is more than enough to get someone rolling on a project. And it is open source: any issues you face can be sent to the forums or even to the developers."
"The whole package! This is really everything I needed to start my virtual 3D commissioning. From the capabilities of connecting many interfaces including my favorite: OPCUA, to the easy to set up drives, conveyors, robot arms and more!"
"I started with free package some time ago and I was amazed with functionality. I purchased pro version last year and built few projects for custom machines, mainly for conveyor systems. And it is not only tool for emulation. It runs in Unity where you can easily convert your project for example into VR presentation to show it to your customers or for training purposes. Great job!"
"I was able to design a prototype for my DT in just a few hours, the quality was good and the documentation helped a lot! I'm using the free version for now but it's a very good experience so far."
"We purchased RealVirtual.IO Professional for virtual commissioning and Digital Twin development of manufacturing machines. It is a really great tool for vendor-neutral development in a lightweight modeling environment. Moreover, we have had great support, and the how-to videos are really great too!"
"Connecting to my Siemens S7 was a breeze – got it up and running in minutes. The Interfaces, Drives, and Sensors concept is intuitive and feels really well thought out. Plus, everything is open source, which is a game-changer."
