51WORLD is a technology company dedicated to cloning 510 million square kilometers of the earth and hopes to change the world by building a digital twin world.
Focusing on three main technologies: 3D graphics, physical simulation, and artificial intelligence, 51WORLD has built its core competitiveness and launched three core products for both enterprise and consumer markets: the 51Aes Digital Twin Platform, the 51Sim Synthetic Data and Simulation Platform, and the 51Earth Digital Earth Platform. These products are widely used by over a thousand large and medium-sized enterprises worldwide
51WORLD was established in February 2015 and is headquartered in Beijing. In addition to the headquarter, 51WORLD also has an R&D Center in Shanghai, an Engineering Centre in Chengdu, an Innovation Centre in Shenzhen, along with branches across China and overseas. Recognized as a national-level specialized and innovative 'Little Giant' enterprise, 51WORLD had over 280 software copyrights and valid authorized patents,and copyrights and has been involved in drafting a series of national and industry standards as well as numerous key national research projects.
Since its inception, Since its inception, 51WORLD has been driven by the vision of creating a real, complete, and permanent 'Digital Twin Earth', aiming to make the real world more efficient, secure, and comfortable to live in. This vision is set to be realized in five stages over 16 years (2015-2030), with the aim of solving real-world problems in areas such as traffic, AI training, spatial and temporal immersion, security warnings, climate prediction, and energy.
51Earth, launched on March 1, 2024, is the key platform for 51WORLD's Earth Clone Project, leveraging nearly a decade of brand, technology, and product development. It is designed to connect developers, builders, and consumers in a community that shares the vision of the Earth Clone Project. The platform offers a suite of tools, products, and an economic system to facilitate global participation in the creation and sharing of the Earth Clone Project.
51Earth encompasses three major digital asset categories: UGA, DTA, and TWE, complemented by two essential tools: 51Earth Builder and 51Earth Dev Kit.
Urban General Asset (UGA): UGA provides large-scale, highly scalable and interactive 3D urban general digital assets, allowing developers to rapidly create video and 3D applications based on large-scale urban scenes by secondary development on mainstream engines such as UE、WDP.
Digital Twin Assets (DTA): DTA provides users with a powerful and flexible library of digital twin assets to meet a variety of 3D content development needs.
The Whole Earth (TWE): TWE is digital twin Earth asset based on 3D real-time generation and rendering technology, which supports the integration of heterogeneous data from multiple sources such as GIS, DOM, DEM, and realizes real-time generation of 3D dynamic earth through semantic data transformation and network streaming loading.
51Earth Builder is an intuitive, low-entry barrier 3D scene creation tool. It allows users to rapidly edit and craft 3D scenes with roads, buildings, vegetation, terrain, and water bodies through a user-friendly graphical interface and modular components.
51Earth Dev Kit is a secondary development toolkit for applications, featuring runtime plugins (including scene editing tools) and an array of sample project files. It currently supports two major engines, Unreal and WDP, and will support Unity and Omniverse in the future. With this tool, developers can create high-quality short videos, 3D games, and more.
51WORLD is dedicated to achieving the cloning of 510 million square kilometers of Earth by 2030. Through this endeavor, we aim to continuously address various challenges in the real world, such as traffic congestion, AI training, spatial immersion, safety alerts, climate forecasting, and more.
Recently, a video titled “51earth.com Officially Launched” has Gained a lot of traction on Bilibili, the Chinese version of YouTube. The video quickly reached nearly 1 million views in just a few weeks, it has become a hot topic.
