- Tomorrow – Augmented Reality (AR) Wall
Equipped with a hand-held tablet device and headphones, visitors embark on a journey of discovery. AR portals and trigger points reveal the exciting new range of Mercedes-Benz Vans Electric Drive vehicles and their integrated digital
system, Mercedes PRO connect– two innovative technologies that ensure Mercedes-Benz Vans get to their destinations faster, whilst supporting a greener and more efficient future.
- Future Vision – Mixed Reality (MR) Experience
Using Magic Leap Lightwear, one of the first to land in the UK, the experience offers visitors the opportunity to move around an augmented city-space featuring robots, drones and autonomous vehicles in Mercedes-Benz Vans vision for the future of mobility.
Nicola Burnside, head of marketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, said: “We are firm believers in bringing our Brand to the people, rather than expecting them to come to us, so this unique mobile trailer truly enables us to share our vision with a wide and varied audience. We know that electric vehicles are high on the agenda of our customers, but beyond that offers new and emerging innovations that could help change the industry forever. By using technology to bring these ideas to life, we hope to demystify and simplify topics such as drones and robots, and how AI can aid businesses great and small to ensure even greater effectiveness and efficiencies.”
Jon Kelly, Founder and MD at Meet & Potato said: “We’re delighted and excited to bring the Mercedes-Benz Vans UK brand story to life with a such an innovative immersive event. The roadshow trailer is set to welcome thousands of guests as it tours the UK and we can’t wait to see their reaction.”
