Virtual Showroom Objectives
Let’s Clear the Air!What I’m not here to tell you
Who is this guy?
• VR is an immersive technology;
• The difference between ‘seems like I’m there’ to ‘I am there’
• Can be interactive
What is VR?
• VR has been around a long time
• Start/Stop/Start/Stop
• Technology wasn’t powerful enough
• Limited to LBE gaming applications, high cost of entry
• Initial home based units planned by Atari/Sega, abandoned out of cost/performance
• Scientific research platforms limited success
Virtual Reality – False Start
• Oculus revived VR as a viable technology
• Broad use for gaming, movies, R&D, social
• Facebook buys Oculus for $2b in 2014

Augmented Reality
– Huh?
Do I have to put that on my head?
VR for everyone!• Wider spread consumer adoption
• Expansion of adapters for phones
• Consumer cameras (both still and video) for 180/360 degree content (Kodak,
Nikon, Lucidcam)
• Game consoles (e.g. Playstation 4)
• Performance increases/price drops
• Content expansion: not just games, but movies and other non-gaming apps,
social media;
• Automotive is the next frontierspread
VR Content Production
• VR content is produced from either CG, Video, or photo sources;
• Frame rate is key: anything less than 60fps is nauseating or discombobulating
• 3D is beneficial for truly immersive content
If it’s VR, it must be good, right?• Immersive content
• Story or narrative driven
• Being able to view in 360 doesn’t =
compelling
• Taking a car and spinning it in 3D
doesn’t = compelling content.
What is the customer learning from
this?
• Application dependent• Specific applications lend
themselves better to 360
• Automotive interiors
• Moving around the vehicle
and seeing the full
capabilities
Production values – it’s very clear in VR when corners have been cut.
What about Automotive?
How car companies are using VR & AR
• Training for salesman or repair staff
• Ice breaker for those that don’t want to speak to a salesman initially/kiosk replacement;
• Configuration tool (beyond just colors and options)
• Waiting room in service department/educational
• Commercials
• Airport or other locations for lead generation, i.e. remote showroom
The Virtual Showroom
Lead Generation
• VR can be an integral step to lead generation
• People are curious about new technology;
• Compelling immersive VR presentations of vehicles can spark further
interest in the actual vehicle;
• Show people more about a vehicle in less time than it takes to read a
website or brochure, but far more informative and demonstrative;
• Talk about HRV demo and why it reinforces this point;
Content – How do I get it?
