Digital twins for living systems
Living models for the places we share.
Into The Blue builds digital twins and simulations that help communities understand their ecosystems — and shape what happens next.
We turn complex systems into shared understanding.
Land, water, law, and people are tangled together. We build digital twins — living models of real places — so the consequences of a decision can be seen before it’s made.
Living ecosystems
Reefs, coastlines, watersheds. We model the systems people depend on, fed by real, time-series data so the picture stays current.
Land, water & policy
Where land-use law meets the landscape, trade-offs hide in the details. We make them visible — for everyone at the table, not just experts.
Decisions in the open
A model is only useful if people can act on it. We turn simulations into tools communities use to weigh choices together.
Work we’ve helped bring to life.
Real projects — each one standing on open foundations anyone can extend.
DiveSight
Forecasting what divers will actually see, so people can plan around the ocean.
divesight.aiEmergent Reefs
Modeling coastal reef ecologies — and helping stakeholders verify their work using MRV systems.
emergentreefs.orgLita Hotels
Bringing hospitality online with digital twins of hotels and a fleet of service robots.
litahotel.comTerraTwin
Digital twins of bamboo and crop management in Indonesia.
terratwin.aiOrbital Foundation
Our open-source foundations — the simulation engine everything else stands on.
github.com/orbitalfoundationFuture Of
A collaboration imagining what shared, participatory futures can look like.
future-of.web.appModels are only useful if people can use them.
Our purpose is civic engagement: giving citizens a real seat in the decisions that shape the places they live.
Participation
We work in the field, alongside bioregional stakeholders — making sure indigenous and local communities are heard, not just surveyed.
Verification
Measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools that let a community prove what they’re protecting — like a reef that’s actually recovering.
Permitting
Eco-permitting and validation that lower the barrier to doing the right thing, so good stewardship isn’t buried in paperwork.
Our standard
Open by default. We call it Open³.
Three commitments held at the highest bar of integrity. A standard you can measure against — one we hold ourselves to.
Open Source
The code is public and reusable. No black boxes in the civic process.
Open Data
The data behind a model is inspectable, so conclusions can be checked.
Open Participation
The door is open to everyone affected — all stakeholders, not just the funders.
