# Learning automotive procedures through mixed reality

Diagnose Car supplies vehicles to technical schools teaching automotive mechanics. We supported the concept, interface and Unity development guidance for a HoloLens learning application, helping students explore vehicles and procedures in mixed reality.

**Product Type:** HoloLens mixed reality learning app  
**Industry:** Automotive & technical education  
**Timeframe:** 2020–2023  
**Role:** Concept design, prototyping, UI design & Unity development guidance

**Team:** Diagnose Car with RMDY as development partner.

**Scope:** Concept design, Prototyping, UI design, Unity development guidance

## The challenge.

Automotive electronics change quickly, while vehicles become more expensive and fragile. Schools needed ways to teach new techniques and let students learn from mistakes without relying solely on physical equipment.

## The key decision.

The HoloLens application combined 3D vehicle visualisation with mixed reality procedures. Teachers could follow training on a screen, monitor students and provide feedback.

## The rejected option & why.

Relying only on physical vehicles limited opportunities to practise on costly, fragile technology. Mixed reality offered an additional environment for learning procedures and making mistakes.

## The outcome.

The application demonstrated how mixed reality could support automotive education, with schools joining the initiative. Smartphone and tablet versions were planned to broaden access.
