Tim Cristofoli

Background

Tim began his career as an enterprise software developer for one of the Jim Pattison Group companies. There he spent 13 years developing and improving large-scale, complex enterprise systems capable of managing the supply chain, inventory, computer-assisted ordering, finances, and logistics for a retail chain of over 150 stores and 15,000 employees.

In 2018, excited by the potential to combine emerging real-time 3D, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality technologies with the knowledge he gained building enterprise systems to solve real world problems, Tim helped found IndustREALXR Software, a software company dedicated to realizing the potential of 3D digital twins for use in heavy industry and beyond.

As IndustREAL’s technical co-founder, Tim spearheaded the development of the IndustREAL software platform for 3D digital twinning of industrial assets. The IndustREAL platform harnesses the power of Unity 3D, an industry leading real-time 3D gaming engine, allowing IndustREAL to take the decades of research and development that the gaming industry has collectively invested into creating virtual worlds and apply it to creating 3D real-time digital twins of the real world to simulate, inform, and solve real world problems.
