Early adaptation of “digital twin” concept using Hololens. A 3-D architectual model replicating the LA Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Users would “paint” roofs white to simulate energy savings from reflective surfaces.

A third party design/development group, Vectorform, was hired to create the front and back end. We worked closely with them to develop the concepts, write UX text for dialogs, edit voiceovers, provide UX feedback on various user-facing UI elements.
