Walk through the Colosseum and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Dassault Systèmes' "Living Heritage" program restores six historic sites in the virtual world for posterity * Student groups from Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the USA used Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a virtual twin for each of the sites

Dassault Systems Introducing the next step in the campaign "The Only Progress is Human" which focuses on issues of heritage and future."Living Heritage" is a student program that allows the present and future generations to experience shisha UNESCO World Heritage Sites As they might have been in the past, while cultivating innovation skills to promote a sustainable world.

In order to carry out the "Living Heritage" project, 32 students divided into six teams from Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the USA used Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to virtually recreate the The Colosseum, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Sun Temple in Konark, Pompeii, porta nigra וShuri Castle. Guided by Dassault Systèmes mentors and supported by the company's 3DEXPERIENCE Edu system – whose applications help seven million students each year develop in-demand industrial skills through Dassault Systèmes solutions – the teams quickly adopted the same integrated modeling, simulation, data-driven intelligence and collaboration applications used by industry around the world and created virtual twins enriched with accurate and scientifically backed data of the sites, in a way that allows a renewed understanding of their structures.

The virtual twins show both the visible and the hidden and reveal insights into the design of each structure, what was partially lost, completely lost or damaged over time, how this design achievement affected history and how it may affect future designs. The students, who acquired new technical knowledge and knowledge gained during the program, can now apply their skills as soon as they enter the workforce. The virtual twins will continue to be used by others to learn and teach.

"Dassault Systèmes is a science-based and purpose-driven company. For 40 years, we have been a catalyst for human progress. Our passion and creativity have allowed the virtual world to improve and expand the real world and have sparked a discourse that builds a bridge between the generations, who are responsible for the achievements of the past and those who imagine the achievements of the future" said Victoire de Margery, VP, Capital, Marketing and Communications, Dassault Systèmes. "Living Heritage" is a celebration of this shared heritage. The project invites us to discover how today's solutions can give us a better understanding of the past by opening up opportunities for learning and helping the next generation create a better future. We have been running meaningful partnerships with the academic world for four decades and are always amazed by the creativity of students. , who use our 3DEXPERIENCE platform".

The students presented the "Living Heritage" projects they worked on at the conference Cité de la Réussite which took place in Paris at the end of June. The projects can also be viewed atDassault Systèmes website.

The Only Progress is Human campaign, launched in 2020, consists of a series of "systems" aimed at increasing awareness of social and environmental challenges and inspiring the use of virtual worlds to drive sustainable innovations. In addition to "Living Heritage", these systems also included "Virtual Harmony", a unique musical and visual experience that demonstrates how virtual worlds can change the way we experience emotions, and "Water for Life", a series of initiatives designed to help industry implement smart consumption patterns and effectively protect the world's most valuable resource.
