Abstract:	The objective of this paper is to present some fundamentals of digital twins that can be applied to examples ranging in different degrees of complexity. The paper presents a common definition of the digital twin concept to examine what are its main elements and how they interact with each other. Such elements are applied to a simple example with a digital twin of a floating body based on computer vision, developed with open source libraries and a web-based approach. Moving towards a more complex example, the paper presents a digital twin of a ship scale model in waves. The model is equipped with a dynamic positioning system, allowing remote control of the desired setpoint from the digital twin interface. Finally, as a direction for future work, the paper discusses the early efforts on the creation of a digital twin of the research vessel Gunnerus based on the aggregation of data from various instrumentation devices.
