“Driving with an XR headset is the most challenging automotive use case Volvo has ever worked on. Varjo is the only device that’s up to the challenge,” says Casper Wickman, Technical Leader at Volvo Cars.
Watch this online presentation to hear how Volvo Cars and Varjo have developed the world’s first XR approach to evaluating car design and safety technologies. For the first time ever, Volvo Cars and Varjo made it possible to drive a car while wearing Varjo’s mixed reality pass-through headset, seamlessly adding virtual elements that seem real. You will hear insights about the unique technical challenges that were resolved to make it happen, and learn how mixed reality can be used in advanced automotive use cases to fast-forward design processes and test technology development.
