VIZZIO empowers government and urban planners with the launch of GeoEarth 2.0 ASEAN Edition at World Cities Summit 2022

SINGAPORE, 1 August 2022 - VIZZIO Technologies unveiled GeoEarth 2.0 ASEAN Edition at the World Cities Summit (WCS) 2022 today. The Singapore-based technology company specialised in creating and virtualising digital realities, led by Jon Lee, founder and chief executive officer, will showcase the world’s largest digital twin of ASEAN to government leaders and urban planners at the first in-person edition of WCS since 2018.

The biennial WCS is an exclusive platform for government leaders and industry experts to address liveable and sustainable city challenges, share integrated urban solutions and forge new partnerships. The 3-day event comprises the main conference, which includes plenaries and tracks, and other key events such as the Lee Kuan Yew World Prize Lecture, Award Ceremony, WCS Mayors Forum, WCS Young Leaders Symposium, and an expo.

VIZZIO has "cloned" ASEAN by building a digital twin using AI, with photoreal renditions from aerial to building to street level to indoors, in a seamless interactive 3D tour. The 1:1 scale version of 3D ASEAN cities, modelled using satellite imagery and AI was completed in a time frame, previously unheard of. The 3D maps of the ASEAN cities with photoreal textured geometric buildings, are not available in any other mapping application in the world. VIZZIO has the capability to clone Planet Earth on a global scale which is both dimensionally accurate and incredibly robust, that is ready for use by government and commercial entities. The company developed DEEP generative models to learn to synthesise realistic images from 64 global sources and can map any city in the world, without the need of sending photogrammetry drones. This is a World First.

VIZZIO’s technology solutions have proven to be relevant technological solutions for urban planners globally. In the two years since its incorporation, VIZZIO Technologies has partnered world class organisations and government projects to deliver solutions for the built environment, to the architecture, engineering and construction professional communities, to facility managers, master planners and enhanced smart cities solutions and digital governments.

“The accelerating pace of urbanisation demands new approaches to the creation of affordable, liveable and zero carbon communities. Digital technologies can help when properly tuned to the real needs of people: for effective walking, cycling and public transportation; for lifestyles that are healthy in body and mind; for social and economic interactions that drive the performance of towns and cities and attract new talent. New, ‘integrated urban modelling’ platforms offer a way forward that, by putting people first, are leading the radical transformation of the urban landscape,” said Jon Lee, CEO and Founder of VIZZIO Technologies Pte Ltd.
