DRIVE THE FUTURE is a next-generation automotive expo designed for manufacturers who are shaping the future of mobility today.
This is not a traditional motor show.
Manufacturers can not only display their vehicles and offer virtual and real test drives, they'll be able to take visitors on an immersive virtual reality tour of their manufacturing plants, research labs and testing facilities, offering a first-hand look at the cutting-edge processes driving their innovations inside a state-of-the-art SUPER REALITY DOME.
Inside the immersive SUPER REALITY DOME consumers will also be able to experience the thrill of driving all the latest models in a range of environments - urban streets, highways and off-road terrain.
We invite motor manufacturers across all vehicle categories to participate and showcase how technology, design and engineering are redefining the modern driving experience.
The DRIVE THE FUTURE EXPO is limited to 12 exhibitors.

AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE

Inside the SUPER REALITY DOME, manufacturers will be able to offer a virtual test drive. Filmed in 360 virtual reality with a salesperson and formatted for screening inside the SUPER REALITY DOME, people will be able to have a good ‘look around’ the vehicle as the salesperson hosts the test drive. It will feel as if they are sitting in the seat next to the salesperson.
Various 360 shots can be included covering the exterior, interior, onboard driving and drive past shots as well as titles and information and people can then confidently book an actual test drive.
Once they’ve done the actual test drive and are back at home, they can scan a QR code and view the virtual 360VR test drive again to remind themselves of the features and interior styling of the vehicle.
A 1-minute version can be produced for DRIVE THE FUTURE and an extended version could be produced to be used for extended marketing and promotional purposes.
