Best Digital Twin of 2026

DTA 2026 - The Ship Inn

Letiverse builds world-class interactive 3D tours for local businesses — completely free. No setup fees. No subscriptions. No technical knowledge is required. We'll take care of that.

In today's world, why must a business owner now be a website and social media expert to survive? Websites are flat and out of date. Nobody wants to bombard socials just to show what they do. The Letiverse is the perfect blend of the two: immersive, easy to share, and built for business owners and their audience.

Our Backwards Business Model flips the industry: we invest in the business, sponsors fund the ecosystem, and revenue is shared 50/50 with the Host. That's how we remove the three barriers — cost, time and expertise — and deliver real, measurable value to everybody involved.

The Ship Inn down in Medway, what a place! — a Grade II listed, 17th-century pub and home of live music in Medway, Kent — now it has a living digital twin that captures its heritage and its amazing atmosphere.

Letiverse is so proud of this work, so happy to celebrate, and so excited to help more businesses thrive.

Letiverse would also like to thank the other amazing tours and nominees at the Digital Twin Awards — incredible work all around.

DRONE & VR 360 is a California-based digital twin integrator specializing in transforming complex physical spaces into interactive, intelligent digital environments.

We focus on building practical, scalable digital twins that support engagement, education, and infrastructure-ready implementation across the United States.

We are honored to contribute to the growing role of digital twins in arts and culture.

Best Digital Twin for Education

DTA 2026 - Education Center

Thank you for the award and the recognition for “Best of Education” 2026.

We are a young company that has set out to do more than simply create clunky visual experiences.

We want to use virtual tours to produce top-quality solutions for our clients and their target audiences.

Literally "PRO"fessional!

We aren't afraid to push the boundaries of technology, software, and so on.
