Works & Wears Simulator

I make stuff

This is the Caterpillar Works and Wears project. I've built and maintained the app since 2018. Started in Unity engine as a replacement for the flash version.

At the time of writing I'm currently in the process of converting from Unity to Microsoft Sharepoint using React with React Three Fiber as a 3D viewer.

The app currently has nine tracks with translations across seven languages. It's a training app that shows how tracks wear and how to maintain them.

Here are a couple examples of the profile view for the ERS, Electric Rope Shovel track.

Unity Engine​

Converted from flash, the UI was matched as close as possible. Nine tracks were rigged for physics simulation, baked, imported from Blender and integrated into Unity engine.

Three.js​

In Sharepoint using React Three Fiber, rebuilt the UI to have a more modern feel. Nine tracks moved over from Unity and redeveloped to work in Sharepoint.
