## Resource

We sit down with Boca Tech and Automation Founder and CEO Jeff Galea and Marketing Director Marcio Gomes to explore how the company is using what it calls 'digital twin technology' to transform the way it designs, sells, and installs high-end automation systems and other luxury technology. The conversation covers Boca Tech’s evolution from traditional integration work into a more visual, experience-driven design process, including how 3D scanning, LiDAR-adjacent tools, high-resolution imaging, and rendering software help the team capture accurate site data, build client-facing visualizations, and plan projects with far more precision before work begins. Jeff and Marcio also discuss how the same digital twin workflow supports everything from outdoor lighting layouts and prewire planning to theater design, camera placement, project management, and marketing storytelling. For integrators, designers, and anyone trying to communicate the value of technology inside the home, Boca Tech's story offers a practical look at how visualization can move the conversation beyond line items and into the finished experience.
