OVERVIEW
​PACCAR, a giant in the trucking industry most recognized for such names as Kenworth and Peterbilt, was another corporate partner of Microsoft's in the early stages of the development of the HoloLens.

PACCAR worked closely with Microsoft to see what potential enterprise-based use cases would benefit most from integrating Mixed Reality technology. There was a multi-day, Design-Thinking workshop conducted before my arrival that had elicited several viable experiences and solutions.
PROBLEM
One use case to emerge, was testing aerodynamic efficiency of various truck components and configurations. Not only is this traditionally a cumbersome process of physically changing out parts and testing it in the wind tunnel, but also not as manageable with all the potential configurations.

PACCAR concluded that this was one of the best ways that they could maximize costs and time savings in the design and production of their vehicles.
APPROACH
This was one of the first times Microsoft was integrating a selection from their Mixed Reality Partner Program, collaborating with Finger Food Studios. My focus was creating early assets and in house at Microsoft and making sure the transfer of knowledge I learned from the Lowes project+ was seamless.

Building 3D models for the HoloLens is a lot like creating content for early second-generation game consoles. The incredibly well architected micro-processors in the headset Is capable of handling a lot of data, but there are still limitations in both polygon count and texture budget constraints that one has to deal with. Unfortunately it is not as easy as putting CAD info directly into the real-time engine.
RESULTS
This turned out to be a successful delivery and working experience for all those involved. I wasn’t privy to understand the eventual cost savings or outcome of the project, but it did lead to another engagement with PACCAR for HoloLens 2.
