The add-on package for selected Audi vehicles will let passengers use virtual reality while they're in the car. This will let them experience things that are like nothing before. The VR space will be combined with a moving car. This is called "Elastic Content."
"With the introduction of holoride, we are not only elevating that stale experience; we are redefining how you spend your time on the go. I couldn't be more excited for riders to finally enjoy the thrills of the Motorverse for themselves", said Nils Wollny, CEO and co-founder at holoride.
At launch, holoride users will be able to dive into Cloudbreakers: Leaving Haven from Schell Games, the studio that brought Among Us to VR. Leveraging holoride's Elastic Content, players guide Dev, his scavenger robot Skyjack, and I.O.N.E. through the hostile skies of Stratus, gathering scrap and blasting A.I. sentries as they simultaneously travel to their real-world destination.
In addition to bringing new thrills to passengers' rides, holoride can also create a more comfortable experience for users. Instances of motion sickness are substantially reduced thanks to the technology's use of steering, braking, and acceleration data to match what riders see in the headset with what they feel outside the Motorverse, and with almost no latency.
