|
Epic Games has published a free-to-download Automotive Field Guide that takes the reader through the latest and most spectacular automotive applications of virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality and real-time 3D graphics, showing how each is being used to transform how cars are designed, engineered and sold. The 108-page book is the most comprehensive review so far of this fascinating topic.
Case studies take the reader behind the closed doors of vehicle manufacturer technical centres to show how companies including BMW, Daimler, Geely, Scania and Toyota are using Unreal Engine in applications as diverse as research, manufacturing planning and vehicle configurators.
How will immersive media change the way we buy cars?
How is mixed reality helping make safer automated driving features?
How is games technology revolutionising the interior of electric vehicles?
What is a company-wide virtual-reality model and why is it just around the corner?
Discover the answers to these questions by downloading the Automotive Field Guide from Epic Games here: https://ue.unrealengine.com/ENT-1845-11-2020-Automotive-Field-Guide_LP-Automotive-Field-Guide.html
Last chance to sign-up for Unreal Build: Automotive 2021
You are invited to join Unreal Build: Automotive 2021, the most comprehensive and insightful look so far at how games technology is revolutionising the automotive industry, from design, development and testing to HMI, manufacturing and retail. Featuring presentations by BMW, Volkswagen, Pagani and other trailblazers, the event is hosted by Epic Games and their Unreal Engine automotive team.
Nine of the top ten car makers are already using Unreal Engine to transform how they work, with a major German manufacturer stepping forward to become the first to introduce a strategy for moving to a single, company-wide model that begins in the design studio, progresses through engineering and then into marketing and retail.
At Unreal Build: Automotive 2021, you’ll hear the people at the heart of this transformation talking about why and how they embarked on this journey and where they believe it will lead our industry. All editors and writers are very welcome. Build has traditionally been a ‘behind closed doors’ invitation-only event. This year, with the move online, it is open to everyone so you are very welcome to bring your readers too.
The free 2 ½ hour online event takes place on Tuesday, March 23 at 2:00pm CET and will be repeated at 6:00pm CET. Register at http://unrealengine.com/events/unreal-build-automotive-2021
