Volkswagen VR Training by Innoactive
Made with Unity: Volkswagen group VR training
Imagine training available anytime, anywhere, as often as needed, for everyone. For Volkswagen Group it’s now a reality thanks to a Unity-based solution, developed by Innoactive, which enables real-time collaboration and training across Volkswagen's 120 global production sites. Teams learn in an interactive 3D space, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
“At Toyota, we use Unity to develop VR and AR tools to improve efficiency and quality for design, engineering, and training. It’s a really flexible platform, supporting the VR/AR devices we require.”
For designers, engineers, and trailblazers across the auto industry, Unity is one of the most versatile and widely used real-time 3D creative software development platform for visualizing products and building interactive and virtual experiences.
True flexibility
The Unity platform is highly extensible and ready to be adapted to current and evolving needs with a powerful C# scripting system, comprehensive API, and extensive documentation. Source code access can be purchased for under-the-hood C++ development.
Rapid creation
With its intuitive UI and tools, Unity makes it easy to jumpstart a working prototype and bypass spending time on low-level programming. Changes are easy and instant through the magic of real-time, making it easier to create and iterate.
Unparalleled platform support
Maximize your reach with support for 20+ platforms. Unity partners early and deeply with publishing platforms so you can build once and deploy to Android, iOS, Windows Phone, as well as to desktop, consoles, and mobile VR.
Rich interactivity
Unity includes a robust and well-documented API with access to the complete range of Unity systems, including physics, rendering, and communications to enable a rich interaction model and integration with other systems.
Optimal graphics performance
Unity’s Scriptable Render Pipeline provides total flexibility for graphics optimization. The HD Render Pipeline offers world-class visual quality on high-performance hardware while the Lightweight Render Pipeline maintains responsive performance when scaling for mobile.
A massive catalog of assets and tools
The Unity Asset Store gives you access to tens of thousands of off-the-shelf assets and productivity tools to jump-start your project. These building blocks cut down on development time to get you up and running and across the finish line faster.
