What 3D Media does

3D Media is a private AR/VR technology firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Thibodaux, Louisiana, focused on developing custom immersive training and maintenance solutions for high-stakes industrial and defense environments. The company's portfolio centers on two core offerings: MARS (Maintenance Augmented Reality System), an AR-based job guide CMS and delivery platform developed in partnership with Taqtile that provides real-time step-by-step procedural guidance with AR overlays, remote expert assistance, best-practice capture and distribution, automated PDF-to-AR conversion, and revision tracking; and a custom VR Training product line that builds simulations tailored to client-specific operational environments with specialized performance metrics. Both offerings are bundled with hardware planning, procurement, installation, and ongoing support services.

The business model is built on consultative, quote-based enterprise sales requiring discovery sessions and bespoke solution design for each engagement. Revenue streams span professional services for custom VR development, managed services for the MARS platform including installation and ongoing support, and hardware provision. The company employs 11–50 people and targets defense/military as its primary vertical, with secondary focus on manufacturing/industrial, oil and gas, and mining. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales, with the corporate website serving as the primary lead capture mechanism feeding into scheduled discovery calls.

Target customers include defense and federal organizations alongside industrial enterprises with safety-critical or maintenance-intensive operations. Documented customer engagements include the U.S. Air Force Weapons Lab (Weapons Aircrew Preflight VR training), the broader U.S. Air Force, and Nellis Air Force Base (F-16 maintenance using MARS). 3D Media's value proposition centers on custom-built solutions rather than generic platforms, anchored by quantified outcomes such as 75% skill retention versus 20% with traditional training and 43% reduction in workplace injuries cited from a mining industry report.

Core offering

3D Media develops custom AR and VR solutions for maintenance, operations, and training in high-stakes environments. Its two core offerings are MARS (Maintenance Augmented Reality System), a proprietary job guide CMS plus AR delivery platform that provides step-by-step procedure overlays on actual equipment with remote expert assist, and VR Training, a custom VR simulation development service for team proficiency, safety, and operational readiness. Engagements follow a discovery, development, installation, and ongoing support model delivered directly to defense, industrial, oil and gas, and mining customers.

Product overview

3D Media offers a dual-product portfolio centered on immersive technology solutions for maintenance, operations, and training. The core offerings consist of MARS (Maintenance Augmented Reality System) — an AR-based job guide CMS and delivery platform for on-site procedure guidance with remote expert connectivity — and VR Training — custom VR simulations designed for team proficiency and effective training delivery. Both products are built with specialized metrics capabilities and include installation and ongoing support services.
