Nicolaj Hougaard Andersen

Nicolaj works with Unity, UI/UX, software, simulation and digital twins. The work is the part of a machine project that has to be seen and tried before it is built: a model an engineer can run, and an interface a buyer or operator can follow.

Real-time 3D is the layer people actually look at. A configurator, a training scene or a commissioning view all need a model that responds while someone is using it. The geometry, the signals and the choices a user can make have to stay tied to the same state.

UI/UX on these projects is the path through that model. A sales screen, an operator view and a training step ask different questions of the same machine. The interface has to show the state that matters for that question, and leave the rest available.

Simulation and digital twins are the model underneath. A twin used for a sales review and a twin used to exercise PLC logic do not need the same level of detail, but they need a shared description of the machine. Software and technical architecture are how that description stays one thing when the uses multiply.
