iNicosia Digital Twin Internship

The iNicosia project is a digital twin of the city of Nicosia that consists of an “accurate” (as necessary) 3D model of the city, with representations of actual buildings and monuments (e.g., the walls and the old city), the road network, parking places, various metadata about the environment, possibly traffic lights and their state, street lights, the power grid/water network, vegetation, etc. Such a model would have minimum usability without the inclusion of real-world data; rich time-series data will be collected by various sensors (camera feeds, thermal/humidity/motion sensors, etc.) placed around the city of Nicosia, through Government Open Data and other public or private collaborations . These data will be geolocated and timestamped, collected, associated and stored alongside the digital twin.

Interns working in this project should have technical and/or creating skills that include:

1. Computer Programming Skills
2. Mobile or web-based application development 

Nice to have skills: Computer Vision, Programming in Python/C++/C#/Java, Databases, AR & VR Concepts, Integration Methodologies, Game Engine Development 

Good

The objectives of the internship includes the following: 

1. Concept Visualizations, 3D Modelling of Urban Areas 

2. Enhance the 3D Urban Model of Nicosia as database resource 

3. Create AR and VR Visualizations based on the available Data 

4. Large-Scale Integrations with partners and stakeholders 

5. Development of the Digital Twin Geospatial Platform in Cesium, Unity and Unreal Engine
