Project Brief

The AVTR MR Experience aims to revolutionize this traditional model by integrating mixed reality technology to create dynamic, immersive environments.

This approach will not only showcase the futuristic design and innovative features of the AVTR concept car but also emphasize its practical usability in everyday scenarios.

This enhanced engagement strategy helps deepen customer understanding of future automotive technologies, making the AVTR model both a marvel of design and a relatable, functional vehicle that fits into the evolving landscape of modern transportation.

Research Discovery

We recognize that maintaining a consistent and high-quality user experience across digital platforms can be difficult. This includes ensuring that digital showrooms and virtual test drives are seamless and intuitive for all users, which can be particularly challenging with the diverse backgrounds of customer demographics.

How might we revolutionize this traditional model by integrating mixed reality technology to create dynamic, immersive environments.

Interaction of Current Concept

To gain a clearer understanding of the car's capabilities, particularly with regards to its interaction methods, we examined the current concept in order to better comprehend its limitations and possibility.

Our Solution

By incorporating interactive elements that educate customers on emerging technologies such as V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) communications, the experience bridges the gap between high-tech aspirations and real-world applications.

Showcase 1 — Interact with AVTR

VR Prototype 1 — Interact with AVTR

To enhance the human-like qualities of the AVTR and evoke the creature-like appearance as seen in the movie, we designed a virtual representation. This allows users to interact with the virtual figure, while the physical car simultaneously responds to these interactions.

VR Prototype 2 — V2V Interaction

In the future, V2V communication will become a crucial aspect of the automotive industry. Therefore, we also investigated potential methods for users to obtain V2V information from the car.

Showcase 3 — V2I Interaction

VRPrototype 3 — V2I Interaction

In addition to V2V communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) interactions represent a critical advancement in the automotive industry.

To illustrate this concept to our audience, we explored various demonstrations, such as showcasing the car's ability to integrate with its surroundings.

For instance, while parked atop a mountain at an observatory, the car can enhance the experience by displaying a starry sky view, seamlessly blending technology with the natural environment."

Next step

As a potential next step, we are considering the integration of phones or portable devices into the project to enhance the user experience and improve functionality.

This would allow users to interact with the car through their personal devices, providing a unique opportunity to become familiar with its features even before it becomes available on the market.
