The experience

Every option, streamed live.

The world’s first 130% automotive configurator on NVIDIA Omniverse: one model holding every colour, wheel, interior and scene, rendered live.

Challenge

Turn static product pages into an experience that converts.

More

Volkswagen Canada wanted to know if interactive 3D moves the needle on vw.ca. The pilot had to work with 12 streaming seats and with production CAD data that was never built for real time.

Solution

SolidMachine made the Atlas CAD stream-ready. Smart targeting chose who saw it.

More

An automated five-step pipeline took the Atlas from CAD to NVIDIA Omniverse, developed in close collaboration with the NVIDIA team. Because streaming seats were limited, an AI behaviour-based offering showed the 3D configurator to the visitors most likely to become leads.

Result

3D visitors beat every engagement and conversion benchmark.

More

Over 79 days, visitors who used the 3D configurator stayed longer, configured more and converted better than the video and traffic control groups. The optimised model also cut preparation cost by 40% (validated) and streaming cost by 30%.
