OPTICS: 3D active digital twin with ArcGIS and Unity

Nov 13, 2025

OPTICS 3D active digital twin of the Port of Corpus Christi, built with Unity and Esri's ArcGIS

See how the Port of Corpus Christi worked with The Acceleration Agency (TAA) and Esri to create an active digital twin for comprehensive situational awareness across port activities. In this session, leaders from the Port, TAA, and Esri discuss how they built a real-time, geospatial digital twin in Unity using the Esri ArcGIS Maps SDK to connect disparate data systems, including security dispatch and commercial vessel tracking into a single operational view for field use on mobile devices.

Speakers:

- Darrell Keach, Business Systems Manager at the Port of Corpus Christi

- Starr Long, Executive Producer at The Acceleration Agency

- Lakeisha Coleman, Solution Engineer Team Lead at Esri

“One of the requirements of the Port was for this application to be able to operate on mobile devices. Unity's ability to run anywhere was incredibly important to us. You've heard multiple testimonials today of performance being key.”
