How VR is transforming Automotive Training
Practice procedures without any risk
The automotive industry demands the highest safety standards. With VR, practice critical procedures repeatedly in a risk-free environment to ensure safety and proficiency in the field.
Perfect daily tasks and build confidence in virtual reality
Gain hands-on experience by interacting with automotive equipment in a virtual setting—no need for costly downtime and zero repercussions for mistakes.
Prepare for the real-world experience
Leverage in-depth training data and assessments to track learning progress, ensuring that your staff enter the field with confidence and competence.
Use Cases for VR Automotive Training
Safety Training
Simulate high-risk tasks & train staff on required safety procedures for operating equipment. Train factory workers on emergency situations, PPE and hazard recognition.
Technical Training
Master complex technical procedures including part assembly, engine overhauls & servicing. Engineers and technicians can build proficiency in inspecting and maintaining vehicle components, honing their skills in a safe, virtual environment before applying them to real-world tasks.
Employee Onboarding
Accelerate onboarding for technicians, assembly line staff and engineers by immersing new hires in virtual replicas of factories and vehicles. This reduces training costs and helps employees become familiar with critical equipment, safety protocols, and operational layouts, boosting their confidence and competence from day one.
Troubleshooting
Practice resolving intricate technical issues, from diagnosing electrical faults to managing mechanical breakdowns. VR enables maintenance teams to simulate challenging repairs, refine their troubleshooting techniques, and react quickly to real-world issues, minimizing vehicle downtime and ensuring smooth operations.
Workplace Collaboration
Enhance collaboration among engineers, technicians, and the production line by bringing teams together in a shared virtual workspace. Use VR to plan maintenance projects, review vehicle systems, and collaborate on complex repairs from any location, fostering seamless communication and effective teamwork across departments.
Benefits of VR Training in the Automotive sector
90% Increase in employee engagement
75% Improvement in knowledge retention compared to traditional learning
60% reduction in workplace accidents
Process for creating VR Content in the Automotive Industry
Defining your goals and VR training scenario
The first step to creating high-quality, effective training content is defining your training objectives and required modules. Do you need employees to master vehicle maintenance tasks, or do you require specialized training for assembly procedures?
Requirements gathering
Once your training module is confirmed, our team collaborates with your subject matter experts to document your procedures step by step. This may involve capturing videos, reviewing manuals, and using advanced technologies like 3D scanning to replicate your environment accurately in virtual reality.
Art & Environment 3D Modelling
The more lifelike the virtual experience, the more effective the training. Our skilled 3D artists and designers recreate your vehiclest, equipment, and work environments, making the virtual training experience as realistic as possible.
VR Scenario Development
Once your environment is created, our development team begins building and testing your training modules. We ensure that every detail meets the highest standards, providing effective and engaging learning experiences.
Ready, set, go…
Once your training content is complete and you’re 100% happy with your scenario, we will create your branded PORTAL aka your dedicated learning management system for your VR content.
Here, trainers and trainees can access class schedules, training content and individual performance analytics. Everything you need for effective learning, accessed via a VR headset.
A dedicated company space for managing VR learning and training insights
What is employee training without data insights that help and encourage progression? At Luminous, we not only create training modules in virtual reality. We provide your business with a dedicated learning PORTAL, complete with personalised training dashboards for each trainer and trainee.
Manage training modules, schedule sessions and gives users everything they need to engage and complete course content. Learning data is seamlessly synced and recorded from VR headsets to your preferred LMS, to encourage continuos L&D.

In an automotive manufacturing environment, most new members of staff will learn specific operational procedures by shadowing an experienced operator.
This type of on-the-job training can be slow and is restricted by access to experienced operators. One way around this is to build a virtual digital twin of your factory and the different lines and equipment within it, where staff can immerse themselves and train virtually.
With a background in 3D laser scanning, we have the ability to quickly and efficiently digitise your plant to create an accurate real-time 3D digital twin. Once we have the 3D model, standard operating procedures can be replicated. Staff can meet up virtually in the 3D version of your facility and can be taken through the required training, reducing the need for inductions and permits to work which can be time consuming, and allows then to train in a safe, repeatable environment.
-
VR learners are 275% more confident to apply their skills learned after training and can be trained up to 4x faster than traditional learning methods.
There is also a 75% improvement in knowledge retention compared to traditional learning.
