self-guided tour in learning about the various features, details, and options
associated with a vehicle – and as well as virtually test drive their vehicle
in a variety of environments. The same approach can be applied to other
automotive learning scenarios, such as design, training and trouble-
shooting assistance. Recently Mixed Reality (MR) solutions are also
becoming popular for further augmenting the automotive user experience.
MR allows for physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time
– thus making the experience more human, interactive, and entertaining.
This talk will discuss a few industry solutions to highlight how VR and MR
technologies are changing the user experience in the automotive industry.
