Some of the features and techniques discussed:
* No UMG used
* Progress bar material is in high dynamic range (HDR), so it can glow
* The tutorial covers both horizontal and vertical progress bar versions
* Progress bar changes color with its value, which is updated via Blueprints
* Progress bar exists in the world space, so it can be used very well for various holographic UIs
* Using custom material depth, we make sure that the bar does not get occluded by other surfaces
