Design review and simulation tools for large-scale infrastructure projects.
We build VR environments where architects, engineers, construction managers, and facility operators walk through a design before construction starts.
Selected Clients
Capabilities
Services for transportation & infrastructure.
The right mix depends on the audience, source data, and where the finished experience needs to run.
From source material to production.
01
Define
We document the audience, business goal, source material, technical constraints, and measures of success.
02
Prepare
We review CAD, BIM, product data, references, and existing systems, then establish the production and integration pipeline.
03
Build and review
We deliver work in reviewable stages so subject-matter experts can check content, interactions, and visual accuracy throughout production.
04
Deploy and support
We package for the agreed platforms, validate the production environment, and provide handoff documentation and support as needed.
Why teams in transportation & infrastructure come to us.
Infrastructure projects operate at a scale where mistakes are measured in millions. Airport terminals, urban developments, and multi-building complexes have dozens of stakeholders who need to agree on design decisions. Flat drawings and renderings can't communicate spatial relationships at this scale.
How we solve it.
Large-scale VR environments
Walk through an airport terminal, a city block, or an entire development at full scale before anything is built.
Stakeholder alignment
Get architects, engineers, contractors, and operators into the same virtual space to make decisions together.
Sightline and spatial analysis
Evaluate views, clearances, and spatial relationships that are invisible in 2D plans.
Phased review
Review designs at each phase of the project, from concept through construction documentation.

Logan Airport Design Review
Suffolk
Suffolk Construction partnered with Theia to create a robust VR design collaboration tool for a major renovation and new construction project at Boston's Logan Airport. Multi-user functionality allowed stakeholders across different locations to collaborate in real time, expediting the review process.
The Line
NEOM
NEOM's The Line is unlike anything being built on Earth — a 170-kilometer linear city planned for the northwest of Saudi Arabia, designed to house 9 million people in a structure 500 meters tall and just 200 meters wide. When you're visualizing something that doesn't exist yet at that scale, static renders don't cut it. Theia was brought in as part of the international team to bring The Line to life in real time.
Before a project starts.
What can you build for transportation & infrastructure teams?
Projects may include Digital Twins and Training & Simulation. We determine the right format and delivery platform during discovery.
What do you need from our team to get started?
We usually begin with the source material you already have: CAD or BIM files, product data, reference media, technical requirements, and the intended audience. If something is missing, we identify the gap during discovery and account for it in the scope.
Does every project require VR?
No. The delivery platform follows the use case. A project may run in a browser, as a desktop application, on a headset, or across several platforms.
Can the experience connect to existing systems?
Yes, when integration is part of the scope. We can connect to product data, authentication, analytics, learning platforms, operational APIs, and other business systems after reviewing the available interfaces and security requirements.
