A digital twin of St. Peter’s Basilica has been created using artificial intelligence to explore one of the world’s most important monument’s. The new digital platform — a collaboration between the Vatican and Microsoft — will help the Holy See to manage visitor flows and identify conservation problems, such as cracks and fissures invisible to the naked eye. Some 400,000 high-resolution digital photographs were taken with drones and other cameras over four weeks when no one was in the world-famous basilica. Microsoft president Brad Smith said creating an exact digital replica had been one of the most technologically advanced and sophisticated projects of its kind.
