Researchers have been using GIS and 3D modelling techniques to create highly accurate maps of Pompeii. This has led to the development of a digital twin of the ancient Italian city, which was buried by ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. According to an article in Geosmart Magazine, a team of Italian researchers has been using GIS and 3D modelling to create accurate maps of Pompeii. By creating detailed 3D models of the city and its surroundings, researchers can better understand the layout of the city and the relationships between its buildings, streets and other features. The use of GIS also allows researchers to incorporate other types of data, such as topographical information, into their analysis. In conjunction with these efforts, another team of archaeologists has been working to create a digital twin of Pompeii, as reported by IoT World Today. The team used laser scanning technology to create a highly accurate 3D model of the city, from which they then created the digital twin.
