Introduction: The automotive industry is on the brink of a digital transformation

The automotive industry is currently experiencing an unprecedented digital transformation. Technologies such as spatial computing, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) are driving this change, creating new, immersive experiences that could revolutionize the car buying process. These technologies allow consumers to experience and interact with vehicles in completely new ways, making the buying process not only more efficient but also more exciting.

The Future of Car Dealerships

Imagine walking into a car dealership from the comfort of your home. You can examine every detail of a vehicle, change the color, adjust the interior, and even take a virtual test drive—all without leaving your living room. With the latest advances in spatial computing, this vision is becoming a reality. The new CUPRA app for Apple Vision Pro, released last Thursday, is an outstanding example of how these technologies can be used.

This app allows users to explore detailed 3D models of vehicles, configure the color and interior to their liking, and see how these vehicles would fit into their real-world environment. It is a completely new way of experiencing cars that has the potential to fundamentally change the traditional car buying process.

By utilizing VR and AR, potential buyers can gain a much deeper understanding of the vehicle they are considering. They can see how the car would look in their driveway or test the interior in a virtual showroom. This creates a more interactive and entertaining shopping experience, and can also help make more informed purchasing decisions.

Advances in digital technology have the potential to transform the entire automotive industry by redefining the way vehicles are marketed and sold. In fact, the physical visit to a dealership could soon be a thing of the past, as more and more people discover the convenience and efficiency of virtual car shopping.

A New Era of Customization

The new CUPRA app for Apple Vision Pro revolutionizes the way users can experience and configure vehicles. By integrating spatial computing, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), the app offers a variety of features that make the car buying process more interactive and personalized.

Innovative Features of the CUPRA App:

  • Explore detailed 3D models of vehicles.
  • Adjust features such as color and interior.
  • See how cars fit into their real environment.

A spatial computing vehicle experience goes far beyond the mere visualization of cars; it opens up entirely new interaction possibilities. Users can change the color of the vehicle with a simple hand gesture, open the doors, and even step inside to explore the interior in detail.

Revolutionizing Car Buying

Spatial computing, VR, and AR offer far more than just a new way of presenting vehicles. They open up entirely new possibilities for shaping the car buying process. Users can not only see and configure vehicles in 3D but also interact with them. These technologies make it possible to view the car from all sides, open the doors with simple gestures, and explore the interior of the vehicle.

Key Features of the CUPRA App:

  • Immersive Exploration: Detailed views and customizable configurations.
  • Seamless Integration: Virtual cars merge perfectly with the real world.
  • Virtual Dealerships: Various environments for car viewing.
  • 360-Degree Rotation: View from all angles.
  • AI Integration: Data analysis for informed decisions.

These features provide immense benefits to both customers and car manufacturers and dealers. Customers can experience vehicles in a depth and detail previously unattainable. Manufacturers and dealers gain valuable data and insights that enable them to better tailor their products and services to the needs of their customers.
Through these expanded usage possibilities, potential buyers can develop a deeper understanding of the vehicle they are considering. This leads to better decision-making and stronger customer loyalty.
