- After “Virtual Harmony” and “Water for Life”, the next step in “The Only Progress is Human” allows current and future generations to experience six UNESCO World Heritage Sites
- Students from Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United States used Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a Virtual Twin of each location
- Virtual worlds open up learning opportunities and build bridges between people, offering future generations the opportunity to discover the achievements of the past and map the way to a better future.
THE Dassault Systems announces the next step of its campaign”The Only Progress is Human” with the realization of “Living Heritage”, student program that allows current and future generations to experience six of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, reliving how these places may have existed in the past, while young people are able to create skills to innovate in a more sustainable world.
For “Living Heritage”, 32 students from six teams from Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United States used Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to virtually recreate the Coliseum, you Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Konark Sun Temple, Pompeii, The Porta Nigra it's the Shuri Castle.
Led by mentors from Dassault Systèmes and supported by tools from 3DEXPERIENCE Edu – whose programs help seven million students a year build in-demand industry skills on Dassault Systèmes solutions – the teams quickly adopted the same integrated modeling, simulation, intelligence of information and collaboration used by the global industry to create scientifically accurate Virtual Twins, enriched with data from the locations, in an experience that opens a new understanding of humanity.
The Virtual Twins represent both the visible and the invisible, revealing insights the design of each structure, what has been partially lost, totally lost or damaged over time, how this design achievement has impacted history and how it can influence future designs. Empowered with new technical knowledge and know-how acquired during the program, students can apply their skills as soon as they enter the job market, while Virtual Twins can be used by others to teach, study and learn.
“Dassault Systèmes is a science-based, purpose-driven company. We have been a catalyst for human progress for 40 years. Our passion and creativity have allowed the virtual world to enhance and extend to the real world, sparking conversations that build bridges between the generations that made past achievements possible and those that will imagine future ones,” says Victoire de Margerie, Vice President of Corporate Equity, Marketing and Communication, Dassault Systèmes. “Living Heritage” is a celebration of this shared heritage.

The teams will present their “Living Heritage” projects at the Cité de la Réussite in Paris on the 25th and 26th of June, including a virtual reality experience that will allow anyone to discover the sites interactively. Projects can also be viewed on the Dassault Systèmes website.
Launched in 2020, “The Only Progress is Human” features a series of initiatives aimed at raising awareness of social and environmental challenges and inspiring the use of virtual worlds to drive sustainable innovation. In addition to “Living Heritage”, these acts 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 set of actions to help the industry consume smarter, protecting the world's most precious resource. world.
