Sounds futuristic and stuff from Mission Impossible, eh?
Now,lets assume you are considering buying a new car,you go to the desired showroom, you pick up the car you want and now you want a test drive, pretty much normal?
But what if i tell you, you don't even have to turn the engine on to take a test drive?
Am i out of my mind?
NO.YOU KNOWS HOW?
Microsoft Hololens has recently announced they'll be working with Volvo Cars to provide a virtual, Real like, Better experience to consumers by developing a new Holographic technology, for as far as automobiles are concerned.
This new technology wll help potential buyers to view safety features, car customizations, and even take part in virtual test drives without leaving the showroom.
Volvo is the first automobile company to express interest in Microsoft Holographic technology so as to provide their customers with an at-par experience. They are currently exploring potential of hololens to change how the consumer may discover or even buy cars in future.
Hololens will be effecient to provide description of systems consumers don't generally see, for example safety measures of a car can't be checked on a test drive but they sure are important and needed to be checked, so here comes the use of hololens to verify the safety measures of car without risking life of driver and passengers, by taking a test drive in a virtual world.
This will allow consumers to configure the vehicle and to see what actually they are buying. Other than that it will also help in educating their staff easily and letting consumer to know about potential problems.
This move will also enhance Volvo's image in the market of luxury market.
However this won't be a game changer as it's use will be restricted to those who have a hololens and want to buy a car. The former numbers may be nice but it'll eventually fade out.
