Pixel Streaming Digital Twins in Real Time – Dubai Airport

Background

Dubai Airport, one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs, is constantly investing in infrastructure to handle growing passenger volumes and enhance the traveler experience. As part of this vision, advanced Digital Twin environments were developed for both DXB and the upcoming DWC, allowing leadership to visualize, test, and plan large‑scale changes before physical execution.

However, a major barrier stood in the way: how to make these complex, high‑fidelity models accessible to multiple global stakeholders without requiring expensive hardware or specialized installations.

The Challenge

• Accessibility: Traditional methods required powerful local machines to run the Digital Twin applications, which limited who could participate in reviews.

  
  

• Latency: Any lag would compromise the realism of the simulation and reduce its effectiveness in decision‑making.

  
  

• Collaboration: Senior executives, planners, and technical teams across different time zones needed to experience the Digital Twin simultaneously, not sequentially.

  
  

• Scalability: The solution had to support dozens of participants at once, without compromising visual quality or responsiveness.

Streampixel’s Solution

Streampixel delivered a pixel streaming platform designed specifically for low‑latency, high‑fidelity streaming of complex 3D applications.

Through our platform, Dubai Airports was able to:

• Stream the Digital Twin directly to stakeholders’ browsers: no downloads, no local GPU requirements.

  
  

• Provide 4K ultra‑low latency streaming, ensuring smooth walkthroughs and interactive exploration.

  
  

• Enable multi‑stakeholder review sessions, where executives and planners across different regions could simultaneously explore layouts, test passenger flow scenarios, and evaluate operational strategies.

  
  

• Maintain data security and controlled access, ensuring sensitive project content remained protected while still widely accessible.

The Impact

• Accelerated Decision‑Making: Review cycles that traditionally took weeks were reduced to days thanks to instant, barrier‑free access.

  
  

• Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for expensive local hardware or international travel for every review session, Dubai Airports optimized both time and budget.

  
  

• Future‑Proof Collaboration: The platform continues to support Dubai Airports’ long‑term planning initiatives, from passenger experience modeling to operational capacity testing.

  
  

• Strategic Advantage: Streampixel’s solution positioned Dubai Airports at the forefront of adopting digital collaboration for mega‑infrastructure projects.

Looking Ahead

Dubai Airports’ adoption of Streampixel’s platform demonstrates how pixel streaming can unlock global collaboration for high‑stakes infrastructure projects, setting a benchmark for the aviation industry and beyond.
