EVENT DETAILS |
While the global lockdown ground many productions to a standstill, HF & Microsoft saw it as an opportunity to create an industry best sample piece for Hololens 2 using Unreal engine.
The result was a high fidelity, high frame rate, interactive story, telling the history of the Ford GT40.
Find out about the creative process, the tools available with HL2 to aid storytelling & building immersive worlds, & how the HL2 can be used as an amazing tool for remote collaborative design & problem solving.
