The automation of vehicles, the electrification of the powertrain, as well as vehicle connectivity, and new usage concepts, are considered to be some of the major mobility trends in the future of automotive development. [1] With an increasing degree of automation, human drivers increasingly hand over the tasks for longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle and in the long term become pure users without driving task responsibilities. Accordingly the interaction with the vehicle will change, whereby the interior represents the direct interface between humans and cars, so that the “Experiencing of the interior” is becoming much more important than before. In response to these changes, new tools are necessary to integrate users more clearly into the solution finding process for innovative upcoming products. Immersive visualization tools (e.g. based on augmented or virtual reality technology) offer a key to user-oriented product development. Using the example of a dynamically configurable autonomous vehicle, this article demonstrates the conception and application of a visualization tool. In this study, a mixed reality mock-up is develop which offers unique possibilities in the validation of new prototypes. Finally, the added value for vehicle concept development can be recognized by means of user integration during the early development stage, which is validated via subject tests in the Virtual Reality Laboratory at the Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF).
