Holographic Virtual Assistance at Audi

A life-size virtual construct named the “Holographic Virtual Assistant” is now running at the Audi Center Sydney, Australia.  Using 3M’s dynamic Vikuti rear projection film and a projector, the life-size image is projected onto a 1cm chick chunk of Perspex.

Audi and Australian firm PDM have announced that a new holographic virtual assistant is in use at Audi Centre Sydney. The hologram is reportedly designed to facilitate enhanced communication and customer experience by delivering special digital content and technology to customers in the showroom.
