Britishvolt Showcases EV Battery Tech with AR & VR at EVIS Abu Dhabi

British Volt -
Crafting Innovation Through Technology

With emerging technologies, electric supercars have become one of the fastest-accelerating production vehicles in the world. The Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit (EVIS) is a 3-day event held in Abu Dhabi by ADNEC to bring together researchers, engineers, government officials, companies, EV related institutions from around the world.

The Britishvolt is a pioneering battery technology developer working with leading strategic partners and suppliers to accelerate the electrification of the future.

At the EVIS technology event, Britishvolt together with Ortmor exhibited two of its invaluable possessions in the two most innovative ways. The event hosted about 500 people and all were mesmerized by the art put forth by Britishvolt. The sales team did an excellent job explaining each and every feature of the battery to each viewer with the help of Ortmor.

Client Requirements

Adding a pinch of technology can make even the most beautiful art can look heavenly. After an extensive brainstorming session with Britishvolt, the requirements required were quite clear as crystal for us.

The two main requirements put forth by Britishvolt were to show a brief of the car, explain the working of a battery, and innovatively exhibit the gigafactory creating a WOW experience for the viewers. The mission of Britishvolt was to deliver sustainable low-carbon batteries on the roadmap to decarbonization.

The first one was their low-carbon lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles which were exhibited using Augmented Reality and the next one was their gigafactory in the UK using Virtual Reality.

Transcending Challenges

Smooth waves can never create a skillful sailor. The challenges presented by the Britishvolt helped us surpass the challenges we came face to face with. The major challenge we came across was testing the project.

The total time given to us to complete the project was one month and we used object-based AR to exhibit the EV batteries. But the car on which we were supposed to display the project was a Ferrari which was only available on the day of the event. So we had no other way to test the project impeccably.

We solved the problem by buying a first-copy toy car from the market to be used as a replica of the Ferrari car and mapped the project to that miniature replica. Testing on the replica of the car helped us develop a clear idea of what the project would look like in real life.

EV Batteries and AR

The world is taking a switch from hybrid to fully electric cars and Britishvolt at the EVIS event together with Ortmor was ready with a peek into their latest EV batteries. Upon entering the BritishVolt’s stand, users are invited in by a black beauty, a Ferrari F8 Spider.

Then the visitors are given a tablet with AR features in it, the users can simply scan the car and slide the screen to transform the vehicle to be adorned with BritishVolt. The tablet also shows the exclusive features of the BritishVolt Batteries.

A VR Adventure to the Giga Factory

Ortmor took the UAE audience on a little adventure to the BritishVolt Gigafactory in the UK using a VR headset and hand controllers to explore the exteriors and interiors of the facility. This enables the UAE audience to get a deeper understanding of the working process and behind-the-scenes of the battery manufacturing process.
