I’m 46 years old and an avid car-, tech- and games- enthusiast. My “old” passion rekindled in 2012 with the Oculus Kickstarter campaign and even prompted me to pitch the use of VR technology in sales at Audi for which I was then also fortunate enough to take over the project management.

For instance, many automotive producers were teasing the use of AR windshields in the future. Yes, the biggest companies were not there with a booth (Oculus will probably target the OC6, HTC the VEC, etc…), but it is the first time that I read the XR news from CES and I dont’ remain surprised.

We also speak with automotive manufacturers, around how they can start marketing and merchandising future car models that might not even be done yet, but through the use of these new technology experiences that let us create 3D models of the car, and sort of market that to potential customers before they might even arrive in the showroom.

There are plenty of products like the Oculus Go, which is just a few hundred dollars, that give you more of a robust kit than something like a Google Cardboard, where you can dip your toe in. I'll give an example in automotive and aerospace. They're hiring a Unity developer or a 3D modeller. And where did we come from?"
