Renault Tests Mixed Reality To Deliver Improved Engine Quality Control

Renault Trucks is evaluating the dynamic potential of Mixed Reality to deliver a new, faster and more reliable quality control process at its Lyon engine manufacturing site, and phase one testing started in January.

Working with Immersion, the European leader in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, a multi-disciplinary team of 20 employees, set up in a similar fashion to a start-up and benefiting from an internal incubator, has designed a prototype using Mixed Reality to control engine quality.

Unlike Augmented Reality, which displays information on top of reality, both laid flat and on screens, Mixed Reality can add virtual objects into a real environment in the form of holograms, with which users can interact.
