Participants connect to a simulated vehicle by scanning a QR code, securely pair with the vehicle using OTP verification, and interact with vehicle controls while observing live state updates across connected applications. *** ## What You'll Learn After completing this demo, you'll understand how Condense can: * Build real-time digital twin applications * Synchronize state across multiple applications * Process bidirectional streaming events * Enable real-time command and control * Maintain live vehicle state using event streaming * Build interactive IoT experiences with Apache Kafka *** ## Before You Begin Ensure you have: * Access to the Condense Experience Center * A mobile phone * Internet connectivity * A modern web browser No coding is required. *** ## How the Demo Works The Auto Twin demo demonstrates how Condense maintains a live digital representation of a connected vehicle. Participants scan a QR code to launch the application, securely connect to a vehicle using OTP verification, and interact with various vehicle controls. Every action is streamed through Condense and synchronized instantly between the mobile application and the Fleet Management System (FMS). The demo showcases secure device pairing, bidirectional communication, and real-time state synchronization. *** ## Demo Flow ### Step 1. Scan the QR Code Scan the QR code to launch the Auto Twin application. The application creates a new vehicle session or restores an existing session if one is already available. *** ### Step 2. Connect the Vehicle A unique Vehicle ID and one-time password (OTP) are generated. Use the Vehicle ID and OTP to pair the mobile application with the Fleet Management System (FMS). Once verification is successful, the vehicle is securely linked and ready for interaction. *** ### Step 3. Explore Vehicle Controls After pairing is complete, interact with the available vehicle controls, including: * Ignition * Engine * Air Conditioning * Lights * Horn * Music * SOS Each action is streamed instantly through Condense and synchronized across connected applications. *** ### Step 4. Observe Real-Time Synchronization As vehicle controls are updated, both the mobile application and the Fleet Management System display the latest vehicle state in real time. Every command is acknowledged immediately, ensuring that both interfaces remain synchronized throughout the session. *** ## Vehicle Features Demonstrated The Auto Twin workspace demonstrates live synchronization of vehicle features including: * Vehicle connection status * Ignition state * Engine state * Air conditioning * Vehicle lights * Horn * Music controls * SOS activation * Diagnostic information * Tire pressure monitoring *** ## Data Processed During the demo, Condense continuously processes information including: * Vehicle ID * Session ID * Vehicle state * Vehicle commands * Command acknowledgements * Connection status * Location information * Diagnostic events * Tire pressure data * Session heartbeat events *** ## Behind the Scenes The Auto Twin workspace demonstrates several Condense capabilities working together: * Real-time event ingestion * Apache Kafka messaging * Bidirectional event streaming * WebSocket communication * Live state synchronization * Event-driven command processing * Session management * Real-time acknowledgements Internally, Condense streams vehicle commands, synchronizes vehicle state between connected applications, validates secure sessions, and maintains a live digital representation of the connected vehicle. *** ## What This Demo Demonstrates By completing this demo, you'll experience how Condense enables: * Digital Twin applications * Connected vehicle platforms * IoT event streaming * Real-time synchronization * Bidirectional communication * Event-driven architectures * Live state management * Low-latency stream processing *** *** ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ### Q1: What is Auto Twin? Auto Twin is an interactive demo workspace that demonstrates how Condense creates and maintains a real-time digital twin of a connected vehicle by synchronizing vehicle state between a mobile application and a Fleet Management System (FMS). *** ### Q2: Do I need to install an application to use the demo? No. Auto Twin runs in a web browser. Simply scan the QR code to launch the demo and begin the pairing process. *** ### Q3: How is the vehicle connected? When the demo starts, Condense generates a unique Vehicle ID and a one-time password (OTP). The OTP verification securely pairs the mobile application with the Fleet Management System before any vehicle interactions are allowed. *** ### Q4: Why can't I control the vehicle immediately? Vehicle controls remain disabled until the pairing process is successfully completed. This ensures that only verified sessions can interact with the connected vehicle. *** ### Q5: What vehicle controls are available? Depending on the demo configuration, you can interact with features such as: * Ignition * Engine * Air Conditioning * Vehicle Lights * Horn * Music * SOS All actions are synchronized in real time across connected applications. *** ### Q6: What happens when I perform an action? Every action is streamed through Condense, processed in real time, and immediately synchronized between the mobile application and the Fleet Management System. Both interfaces always display the latest vehicle state. *** ### Q7: What happens if the connection is interrupted? Condense continuously monitors the session using heartbeat events. If the connection is lost or the session becomes inactive, the session is automatically cleaned up to ensure secure and reliable operation. *** ### Q8: What Condense capabilities does this demo showcase? The Auto Twin workspace demonstrates several core capabilities of Condense, including: * Real-time event streaming * Apache Kafka messaging * Bidirectional communication * Digital Twin implementation * Live state synchronization * Event-driven architectures * Low-latency stream processing * Secure session management *** ### Q9: Can multiple users connect to the same vehicle? The demo establishes a secure session between the mobile application and the Fleet Management System using vehicle pairing and OTP verification. Session management ensures that vehicle interactions remain synchronized and secure throughout the demonstration. *** ### Q10: Is Auto Twin intended for production use? The Auto Twin workspace is designed for learning, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept scenarios. The underlying architecture can be extended to build production-grade connected vehicle, IoT, and digital twin solutions using the Condense platform. ## Learn More To learn more about building real-time digital twin applications with Condense, explore the Connected Mobility documentation and related developer resources.
