Most car enthusiasts have a ‘hero poster’ on their bedroom walls as they grow up. For ATP tennis star, Hubert (Hubi) Hurkacz, who heads to the US Open Championships this week, it was the iconic McLaren P1TM hypercar – specifically P1 OOV, which is still part of McLaren’s own heritage fleet – that took pride of place and drove his childhood dreams at home in Wroclaw, Poland.Teaming up with McLaren Beverly Hills and its O’Gara Motorsports division at The Thermal Club, a private, member’s only track in California, McLaren, The Americas managed to bring Hubi’s ‘bucket list’ wish to life by giving him a day of expert tuition behind the wheel of the McLaren 765LT Spider.Instead of hitting serves at over 150mph, the tennis ace was able to get behind the wheel of the pinnacle of ‘Longtail’ performance and experience similar speeds as he pushed the supercar to the limits around the desert track.
The brand with the four rings has delivered. At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Audi announced it would transform its vehicles into an experience platform for virtual reality (VR). Selected models have been “holoride-ready” since the summer. Audi will return to CES Las Vegas to offer media professionals and trade show visitors current content and a new VR game through “experience rides”. Following the launch in Germany, the VR entertainment offering will become available in other European markets next year.Audi is the first car manufacturer in the world to bring virtual reality entertainment by holoride to series production. At CES 2023, visitors can experience rides in the rear of an Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback. The Audi Hub at the Waldorf Astoria will be their starting point.Behind holoride is a new technology that adapts the virtual content to the car’s driving movements in real time. For example, if the vehicle takes a right turn, the spaceship in the virtual world will also fly to the right. If the car accelerates, the spaceship speeds up, meaning a ride in the car becomes a multimodal gaming event. An added bonus is that by synchronizing the user’s visual and felt experiences, holoride reduces the risk of motion sickness, which many passengers experience when watching movies or other dynamic content in a moving car.
One of the first vehicles to be so, the new Audi Q8 e-tron is holoride-capable thanks to the modular infotainment kit (MIB 3). Rear seat passengers can put on virtual-reality glasses (VR glasses) and immerse themselves in games, films, and presentations, making car rides a multimodal experience. The main attraction: virtual content adapts to the driving movements of the car in real time.

Audi is the first manufacturer worldwide to combine virtual reality and driving experience, thus bringing a completely new entertainment category into the car. Through the integration of holoride, rear-seat passengers are equipped with VR glasses and can experience films, games and other interactive content during the ride.
Audi is the first automobile manufacturer in the world to bring virtual-reality entertainment from holoride into series production. Beginning this summer, back seat passengers can put on virtual reality glasses (VR glasses) and immerse themselves in various media formats such as games, films and interactive content. The main attraction: The virtual content adapts to the driving movements of the car in real time. From June 2022, Audi models with the latest upgrade of the modular infotainment toolkit (MIB 3) will be holoride-capable. The new technology will be introduced at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in the United States. Visitors there will be able to experience holoride in a moving vehicle.
