RALEIGH (USA): 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 topic.
Nine of the top 10 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.
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.
The book answers some of the common questions surrounding its application to the car industry.
> How will immersive media change the way we buy cars?
