01 — Why ARworks

Three situations where the car is not in the room.

We build digital answers for exactly these moments — since 2011.

01

It has not arrived yet

Model launches and shows: the new car can be shown before premiere day.

02

There is no demo car

Every colour, trim and interior can be shown — even when none is on the floor.

Driving in VR: the virtual phone signals a message beside the dashboard
03

Cannot be seen in person

A factory, an interior, a driving situation or a process — experienced safely.

03 — Surfaces

One content base. Every surface.

The same vehicle and product data on touchscreen, tablet, browser, AR and VR — each device with its own interface.

  1. Shared vehicle and product data

    models · colours · trims · content · AI knowledge

01

Shared data, separate UX

Models and content are managed from one base; each device gets its own interface.

02

A setting for each brand

A villa garden, a dark showroom, a campaign space — the setting can be swapped, even car by car.

03

Local market versions

Language, range, colour and trim variants per market; the Arabic interface lays out right to left.

04 — AI in the showroom

Say it. See it.

The conversational layer reaches the 3D app through verified commands: a request becomes a real visual step.

TouchAI — concept demo
A fictional modern electric crossover in side view — the swatches change the paint
Illustration: how the conversational layer works
Type or pick…

What the AI layer can do

01AI product advisorAsk about a model, trim or boot space — it answers from approved data.

The system answers from the approved technical and commercial data and can also open the product page, a photo or a video. Model year and target country are part of the data; price and stock questions need fresh structured data or a system connection.

02Natural-language configuratorColour, interior view, two trims side by side — on request.

The AI layer can be linked to the 3D interface: we translate the language intent into verified commands available in the app. The app decides from the product data whether a given combination exists.

03Guided model selectionAsks about use and key features, then shows relevant models.

The choice is supported by comparable product data and recommendation criteria agreed in advance; at the end of the conversation a short needs summary can be handed to the salesperson. The financial offer is handled by the dealer’s own pricing and financing process.

04AI receptionist and showroom assistantGreets the visitor, picks a language, routes to the right colleague.

It can record a test-drive request, contact details or an advance question. Notifying the salesperson and connecting the booking calendar is built for the specific environment; the handover matters: the chosen model, trim and questions reach the colleague in the same flow.

05Virtual salesperson and AI avatarA brand-fitted character on screen or in VR, in natural conversation.

The character’s voice, look, language and style are customisable. ARworks’ talking AI characters and real-time conversation systems from other sectors provide the technical base; it can be tied to a finished installation for a specific brand only with the matching reference.

06Sales and service internal assistantSearches manuals by model year, accessory or procedure and shows the relevant part.

An internal knowledge base and permission levels can be set up, with public and staff material kept separate. For service procedures, the approved documentation, its version and the identification of the applicable model come first.

07Measurable interestModel openings, comparisons, test-drive requests, lead handovers.

Aggregated topics and unanswered questions can be extracted from AI conversations; data handling is shaped to the chosen functions and the dealer’s process. As results we report only impact that has actually been measured and approved.

  1. 01Request
  2. 02Intent
  3. 03Verified command
  4. 043D action

Price · stock · financing — from a database, via API

The language model interprets and explains; the data and the action come from the system.

Working AI systems in other sectors — the automotive version is an adaptation

  • SaabAn avatar with real-time, prompt-controlled dialogue.
  • MedtronicTwo virtual patients on the OpenAI Realtime API, in VR training.

07 — Roll-out

From the first idea to a working showroom

  1. 01

    Project start

    The situation of use: showroom, event, home, factory or training — who uses it and what decision it supports.

  2. 02

    Content and prototype

    A data structure from the model list; an early prototype for model choice, views and usability.

  3. 03

    Integration and trial

    Performance and interface checks on the chosen hardware; a salesperson test.

  4. 04

    Installation and training

    Device setup, kiosk mode, network, content; short, concrete training for local staff.

  5. 05

    Continuous development

    A new model year, trim, campaign — regular content work, with measured lessons.

What we measure

  • Model openings
  • Comparisons
  • Frequent topics
  • Test-drive requests
  • Lead handovers
  • Usage time
  • Friction points
  • Unanswered AI questions

We report only impact that was actually measured and approved; technology alone does not justify a general sales-growth percentage.

Platforms and technology

  • Unity (C#)
  • Unreal
  • Web 3D · WebXR
  • iOS · Android
  • Meta Quest
  • Touchscreen · kiosk
  • Maya · 3ds Max · Blender · Substance

08 — Next step

Let us discuss what you would show first

In a short meeting we clarify the situation of use — showroom, event, home interface, plant or training — and suggest a first step.

  1. 01
    Situation of use

    Who uses it, what decision or learning goal it supports, what data is available.

  2. 02
    Prototype

    On an early prototype we check model choice, views and usability.

  3. 03
    Roll-out

    Device setup, training — and continuous content updates.
