Real Cars in Virtual Worlds
BMW | BMW M Mixed Reality enhances its immersive driving experience with new multiplayer features. Players can now race virtually in a rooftop circuit while driving real cars, with spectators joining through VR devices like Meta Quest. The new platform offers fully synchronised movements of the vehicle and driver with precise GPS tracking. BMW also expands into individualised digital worlds for partners and events, showing the future potential of virtual experiences in driving schools and car development. Future updates may even include drifting and professional training applications.

Editor’s Comment – What is powerful is that BMW cars already have sensors sufficiently accurate to support the XR technology and this dynamic application. Further applications in vehicle development and professional training, such as enhancing driving simulators and developing driver assistance systems are being explored. For example, a Professional Track Trainer could in the future display content such as the ideal line and braking points to drivers in order to train them to drive even more precisely, though according to BMW current AR headset technology lacks the accuracy needed for these advanced uses. Such technology is very likely to expand into other sectors beyond automotive.
