Knock, knock, Neo. Think Agents are a thing of the future? Look again at the iconic movie, The Matrix—they've been hiding in plain sight. In the first episode of 2025, hosts Ron Tolido, Weiwei Feng, and Robert Engels venture down the digital rabbit hole of Virtual Twins with Morgan Zimmerman, CEO of NETVIBES at Dassault Systèmes. It’s a fascinating world where physical science meets data science, a world of both red and blue pills. Virtual Twins take the concept of Digital Twins to the next level, transforming static representations of products, devices, and systems into living, breathing "Dream Theaters" of simulations, predictions, and what-if scenarios. Fueled by AI and immersive technology, they don’t just capture life—they reimagine it. But what happens when Virtual Twins evolve to encompass entire organizations and industries? Imagine bending not just spoons, but entire realities. The Matrix has you—are you ready to see how deep the twin-powered innovation goes? You're in The Matrix ! Tune into our latest Data-powered Innovation Jam podcast episode now! Timestamps: 00:35 – Ron and Robert dive into the iconic world of The Matrix , drawing parallels to digital innovation. 04:55 – Morgan shares insights into Dassault Systèmes' legacy and the evolution of Virtual Twins. 10:00 – Exploring the connection between ontologies and their applications in the real world. 20:03 – How Digital Twins, Virtual Twins, and the Metaverse are transforming real-world use cases. 36:15 – Redefining interaction with the digital world in ways that feel natural yet futuristic.
