DeepUX by Daimler Trucks

DeepUX is a mobile Unity3D VR truck simulator with pedals and an actual truck steering wheel, controlled by iOS applications from two iPads, surrounded by hi-fi audio systems, and packed with rechargeable 400Ah truck batteries—all built as replacements for the backseats of a Mercedes van.

The project is currently being used to test various real-time infotainment concepts. The client would drive the van to a well-known rest station for truck drivers and ask the drivers if they would be interested in taking part in their survey.

After the interview, the application exports recordings and data from inside the simulation, later used to conclude the tested concept's viability.

I led the software development in three Unity projects and one .NET project. I advised the project manager from a technological perspective, estimated costs and development, and oversaw the development, testing and deployment process.
