Varjo meets Christian to discuss virtual design
Varjo sat down with Christian Braun, to reflect on the collaboration and discuss the key benefits Volvo has got from using Varjo’s mixed reality headsets.
Christian Braun on Varjo: “This is the future of creativity”
“At Volvo, we’re currently using Varjo for both exterior and interior design. When it comes to exterior design, I’ve never before seen a 3D car in this level of detail with this resolution. With Varjo’s mixed reality and the human-eye resolution, you really see what you get. You can overlap new designs for the virtual model and change them instantly. When you put on the headset, you get a fantastic sense of proportions of the car and can realistically review all the details and materials – including the body color and the foil early on in the design process.
This is a huge advantage compared to using clay models. Varjo’s mixed reality solution allows our designers to visualize their car models from the very beginning. My vision is that designers are able to fully focus on design. Generate a new creative space by implementing advanced technologies – this is the future of creativity. Varjo’s mixed reality is a really big step towards realizing this dream.”

“Before Varjo, it was not possible to design displays or dashboards inside immersive environments. This is the first time you can use virtual technologies for designing the interiors and even test-driving your designs on a real road. And with the new software features that Varjo recently introduced – including the visual markers technology – you can easily test new features such as virtual displays in the mixed reality environment.
Varjo has already improved Volvo’s design processes, as we have less clay modelling work to do. It’s revolutionary.
We’re also using Varjo to ensure service quality. With Varjo’s photorealistic mixed reality you can spot possible surface mistakes much earlier in the design process. This allows us to save time and add efficiency.
Now, we can really benefit from VR/XR in our design processes. We also look forward to improving the quality of our virtual collaboration with Varjo.”
