The VR demo offers an exclusive sneak peek at I-CAR's newest learning experience, coming in 2026. As part of I-CAR's mission to deliver relevant, accessible, and on-demand training, this soon-to-be-released course format highlights how the future of collision repair education will be more immersive than ever.
Hands-On Training in VR
Demo users will complete a front radar replacement on the I-CAR Cruiser, step by step, inside a fully immersive collision repair shop.
ADAS Dynamic Calibration Driving Simulation
After installation, users take the vehicle on a virtual test drive, experiencing how the dynamic calibration completes under real-world conditions. The driving segment reinforces why performing a dynamic calibration matters for ADAS functionality and safety.
From Prototype to Evolution
Building on our prior success at our SEMA 2024 debut, we've refined and expanded our experiences to make them more engaging and informative.
