Safety Solutions Showcase

An industrial safety solution showcase. Watch as volatile processes make their way through a facility and how it can be prevented with the aid of Hoerbiger. This project was developed by the client, and we were hired to port it to VR. We were also requested to add multi-language support for Chinese/German/English. The experience is narrated and subtitled in the respective language. Watch the video below for the full playthrough.

My job was to optimize performance and add multi-language support. The project was already functional, so I spent time adjusting particles, event timings, and tweaking the engine settings. Since we received this project from the client, this meant diving into somebody else’s project for me. I spent a while studying the project and found everything was animated using tweening. The issue was these animations were tailored for the narrations in English. I needed to make it work for Chinese and German as well. When I switched the language narrations, they timing of certain events were thrown off. Luckily, I was able to find timings that worked for all 3 languages by spacing out the animations here and there by a few seconds. I quite enjoyed working on this project once I digested how it worked. I’m usually working on backend SDK so this was a nice change of pace.
