Innoactive Brings XR AI and Shared Spatial Experiences to the Autodesk Automotive Innovation Forum 2026

Pushing Autodesk® VRED design reviews into AI-assisted, multi-user spatial computing

At the Autodesk Automotive Innovation Forum 2026, automotive design, engineering, and IT leaders come together to explore how the next generation of Autodesk® VRED workflows takes shape across spatial computing, AI, and accelerated GPU infrastructure.

This year, Innoactive is on the show floor with three live demonstrations — one on the Lenovo booth with NVIDIA and KIA, one on the Autodesk booth with Bentley Motors, and one on the Granstudio booth with a Renault Twingo on Granstudio's DIGIPHY dynamic seating buck. All three showcases share a common foundation: Autodesk® VRED running on Lenovo workstations with NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs, streamed to Apple Vision Pro through Innoactive Spatial.

Together, they show where automotive VRED reviews are headed: spatial, collaborative, AI-assisted, and physically anchored to bucks that adapt to the design under review.

On the Lenovo booth, Innoactive, NVIDIA, and KIA present an early look at how AI can become an active participant inside an Autodesk® VRED design review — and introduce Innoactive Halo, Innoactive's new product for capturing and sharing spatial experiences directly from Apple Vision Pro.

The demo uses the KIA Metavision vehicle model and runs the same VRED scene that design teams use in production today — only this time, the reviewer wears an Apple Vision Pro and a conversational AI assistant operates VRED alongside them.

Visitors step into the KIA Metavision at 1:1 scale on Apple Vision Pro, streamed live from Autodesk® VRED, and ask the on-booth AI assistant to make changes — "create a new variant set with this trim and roof option", "assign a different paint finish to the body", "switch to the studio lighting preset", or simply "show me the sport variant". The changes propagate back into the same VRED session the headset is streaming — no scene reload, no handover to a separate operator. Innoactive Halo is on show alongside it, letting visitors capture and share spatial moments from inside the KIA Metavision review directly from Apple Vision Pro.

Demo Architecture

The experience runs across two NVIDIA-accelerated Lenovo systems:

• Rendering: Autodesk® VRED on a Lenovo ThinkStation P8 with NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition.
• AI: NVIDIA XR AI running on a Lenovo ThinkStation PGX, driving the on-booth assistant.
• Streaming: Innoactive Spatial Runtime with the Autodesk® VRED plugin, delivering the session to Apple Vision Pro over NVIDIA CloudXR for visionOS.

What makes the assistant useful — rather than just another chat window — is the spatial loop. It talks to Autodesk® VRED directly, so it can create variant sets, assign materials, change render settings, and switch variants without a human in the middle. A vision model gives it spatial understanding: it sees what the reviewer sees through the headset, so requests like "swap the trim on the door I'm looking at" resolve to the right part of the car. And every action runs through a feedback loop — the assistant inspects the resulting frame, confirms the change landed correctly, and adjusts if it didn't.

The result is an Autodesk® VRED review where the headset wearer keeps their attention on the vehicle, and the AI handles the configuration work that would normally pull a second operator back to the workstation.

Autodesk Booth: Bentley Motors Multi-User Seating Buck Review

On the Autodesk booth, Innoactive and Bentley Motors show what a full review session looks like when a physical seating buck and a streamed VRED model come together for several reviewers at once.

A real Bentley seating buck sits at the centre of the demo. Around it, multiple reviewers — design, engineering, and product stakeholders — put on Apple Vision Pro headsets and step into the same Autodesk® VRED session, anchored precisely to the physical buck.

Visitors sit inside the Bentley seating buck and see the matching VRED interior overlaid on the real seats, dashboard, and controls. They look around and discuss the design with other headset wearers — who see the same scene from their own viewpoint, locked to the same physical reference — and cycle through variants and material options live, with every participant's view updating together.

Demo Architecture

• Rendering: Autodesk® VRED on Lenovo workstations with NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs — one workstation per Apple Vision Pro headset.
• Streaming: Innoactive Spatial Runtime and the Autodesk® VRED plugin, delivering each session to Apple Vision Pro over NVIDIA CloudXR for visionOS.
• Anchoring: Innoactive Spatial aligns the virtual VRED interior to the physical Bentley seating buck, so every reviewer's headset shares the same spatial reference.
• Collaboration: A multi-user session keeps all headsets in sync, so variant switches, material changes, and review annotations are visible to everyone around the buck.

The setup mirrors how Bentley Motors' design teams want to run real review sessions: a physical buck for the ergonomics and the haptics, a streamed Autodesk® VRED model for the visual fidelity and configurability, and Apple Vision Pro as the lightweight, shareable window into the digital twin.

Granstudio Booth: DigiPHY + Apple Vision Pro for Collaborative Design Review

On the Granstudio booth, Innoactive and Granstudio present DigiPHY — a solution that brings together physical and digital automotive design review workflows. Visitors can interact with a real vehicle interior setup while experiencing the digital environment through Apple Vision Pro.

DigiPHY is built around a physical seating buck that provides the tangible, ergonomic reference design teams rely on during review and validation. Paired with a streamed Autodesk® VRED model via Innoactive Spatial, it gives reviewers both the haptic reality of a physical interior and the visual fidelity and configurability of a digital twin — simultaneously.

Visitors sit inside the DigiPHY seating buck and see the corresponding VRED interior overlaid on the real physical surfaces through Apple Vision Pro — experiencing a design review the way automotive development teams actually run them, with a physical reference and a live digital model in the same space. DigiPHY anchors the VRED scene to the physical buck — integrated seamlessly with Innoactive Spatial — enabling collaborative review and validation with shared spatial context.

Demo Architecture

• Rendering: Autodesk® VRED on a Lenovo workstation with NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition.
• Streaming: Innoactive Spatial Runtime with the Autodesk® VRED plugin, delivering the session to Apple Vision Pro over NVIDIA CloudXR for visionOS.
• Hardware: Granstudio DigiPHY physical vehicle interior setup, providing the real-world reference for design review and ergonomics validation.
• Spatial anchoring: DigiPHY anchors the VRED model to the physical buck — integrated seamlessly with Innoactive Spatial — keeping the digital and physical in sync throughout the review session.

Why this matters for automotive VRED workflows

All three demos sit on the same production stack — Autodesk® VRED, NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000, Innoactive Spatial, and Apple Vision Pro — and together they sketch out where automotive design reviews are heading:

• Spatial by default: Apple Vision Pro replaces tethered HMDs for design reviews, with no compromise on VRED render quality.
• Multi-user and anchored: Reviews scale from one designer to a full studio session around a shared physical reference like a seating buck.
• AI-assisted: A vision-aware AI assistant takes on the repetitive configuration work inside VRED, so reviewers stay focused on the design.
• Dynamic hardware integration: Bucks like Granstudio's DIGIPHY reshape themselves to the car under review and keep the virtual interior perfectly aligned across configurations.

All of it runs on infrastructure customers already standardise on — Lenovo workstations and NVIDIA RTX PRO™ Blackwell GPUs — and integrates directly with the Autodesk® VRED installations design teams use every day.

Meet the team at AIF 2026

Visit the Lenovo, Autodesk, and Granstudio booths to experience all three showcases live, and meet the Innoactive team to talk through how Innoactive Spatial and Immersive for Autodesk® VRED can extend your existing VRED workflows into spatial, multi-user, AI-assisted, and physically-anchored reviews.

We look forward to meeting you on the show floor.
