Digital Twin Studios

What Digital Twin Studios does

Digital Twin Studios (DTS, brand: DTSXR) is a Lafayette, Louisiana-based XR Design & Development studio founded in 2017, operating as a private company with 11-50 employees. The firm builds immersive virtual, augmented, and digital-twin experiences that recreate complex environments, equipment, and procedures, initially for the offshore oil and gas sector and now extending across hospitality, energy, manufacturing, automotive, AEC, travel, and education. Its core technical foundation is the Unity real-time 3D platform, augmented by an integrated partner stack spanning Meta, IBM, ArborXR, EON Reality, Innoactive, Maxar, Cognitive3D, and 3Spin Learning for hardware, analytics, and content layers.

DTS monetizes through professional-services engagements structured as custom project work. There are four service lines: XR Design & Development, Learning Development (XR-powered educational solutions), Digital Twin development, and 3D Visualization & Animation, supplemented by the 'Create the Creator' Unity Certified Instructor training program, which delivers 100 hours of expert-led certification in a three-module format. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public tiers; the firm leverages Louisiana's Digital Media Tax Credits Program to partially offset client cost. Marquee customer logos visible on its website include Meta, Shell, Honeywell, Virgin Hotels, and Carnival Cruise Line, alongside educational partners such as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE).

Distribution runs primarily through direct enterprise field sales, layered on top of Unity's Platinum Reseller and Center of Excellence Partner channels and partnership-driven acquisition with academic institutions. The firm holds Unity Platinum Reseller, Unity Center of Excellence Partner, and Unity Verified Solutions Partner designations, and is a member of the Unity Certified Creator Network. These designations, together with named partnerships with Meta and IBM, position DTS as a delivery integrator within the broader Unity-anchored XR ecosystem rather than as an independent platform vendor.
