Resumo

Introduction: This paper addresses data fragmentation in aerospace laboratories, where isolated systems hinder tactical decisions. Objective: To solve this, a Digital Twin ecosystem was developed as a Serious Game, centralizing data via an MQTT backbone to synchronize a 2D strategic touch table and a 3D Mixed Reality headset. Methodology: A custom Takeover and Handoff protocol over MQTT was implemented to resolve multi-user authority conflicts between the different interfaces. Results: Results demonstrate this architecture efficiently translates raw telemetry into interactive visualizations, providing a collaborative space that seamlessly connects physical assets to virtual simulations.
