Case Study – Evolution of XR Training at The Volvo Group

This talk will discuss the evolution of XR training initiatives at the Volvo Group, internal and external teams we have working on AR, VR, and Projected Reality use cases. We started with a hybrid Computer/VR application for a technical training competition in 2018, VISTA Volvo VISTA World Championship 2026, then moved quickly into technical training at scale through VR on commissioning of an electric battery in our trucks. More recently, the social and immersion capabilities of VR have been emphasized, engaging Volvo sales and technical SMEs to inhabit alternative roles and experience product details and functions. Our VR methods have matured with new devices, including hand tracking, passthrough VR, and even haptic support, and are deployed across nearly 90 countries worldwide.
