Hololens Designs
3D wearable technologies allow for immersive experiences but bring new design requirements. We cannot rely on 2D screens and must build UI, buttons, and touchables into the 3D environment or find alternative methods of user interaction. We must take into account where the user is in relation to menu screens and buttons and what might be in their way visually or physically. Anchoring, location guidance, and voice commands and responses are much more important in designing for 3D wearables vs mobile/tablet.

Hololens Experiences
The following AR experiences were all designed for Hololens:
An IOT connected smart torque gun which guides the user to the next bolt and provides a work tracking update on the bolts remaining
A missile familiarization experience
An AR operating manual for a grinding machine
Helicopter Conference Demo
This experience walks a user through a pre maintenance checklist, allowing a user to experience working on an Apache Helicopter without needing to have one available to them. The Hololens allows for an immersive feel, improving learning adoption.
