Vw Technicians Have X Ray Vision

Volkswagen has invested in new technology to give its service personnel an edge

, this new technology enables the service staff to have an x ray vision of the car they are working on. The technology has been dubbed Augmented Reality.

The company is using this Augmented Reality technology - the deliberate expansion of the real world using digital projections - to train Volkswagen teams worldwide to the highest levels, and to inform them about the development and technical innovations of new models.

The basic principle of Augmented Reality is a video-based positioning programme which determines the correct position of the image projector and the viewer in relation to the vehicle. Computer-generated information can then be precisely embedded into the viewer's real-world environment via the projector image.

When needed the technician can use the technology to project three dimensional design data onto the surface of a vehicle, in the correct position and in perspective even from different viewing angles. The projection creates a 'virtual x-ray vision' for the viewer, which enables them to see otherwise hidden components and structures inside the vehicle. The technician can also superimpose individual components and component designations onto the vehicle.

Head of Volkswagen Aftersales, Michael Horn said, For the first time, at the Wolfsburg Service Academy, this technology has been applied to the Touareg Hybrid in the training sessions for importer instructors. The development and functionality of the innovative hybrid technology could be explained with a depth that would not have been possible using conventional means. The international participants' response was thoroughly positive.

The projection-based Augmented Reality system was developed by Volkswagen Group Research together with the Volkswagen Service Academy, so it shouldnt be too long before it is used at franchises such as the VW dealer in Kent.
