Next stop: the future of transportation and aerospace
Unity’s real-time 3D technology enables you to:
- Build immersive training to increase knowledge retention and safety.
- Optimize design and prototyping by refining vehicles and infrastructure before production, identifying risks and reducing costs.
- Improve passenger experiences with informative 3D maps and AR displays.
How XR is transforming transportation and aerospace
XR enhances design, testing, and training. Immersive 3D modeling streamlines vehicle prototyping, while AR aids in real-time diagnostics and maintenance. Virtual training allows workers to safely practice high-stakes scenarios, improving decision-making, reducing errors, and boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Top uses of immersive technologies in transportation and aerospace
Immersive training and simulation
Create interactive, safe environments for workers to practice safety protocols, enhancing knowledge retention. Immersive 3D training with AR and VR is both cost-effective and accessible, allowing employees to improve their skills anytime, anywhere.
Streamlining design and prototyping
Engineers and designers can create, visualize, and iterate on plans and models in real-time and from one source of truth, minimizing the costs of developing a physical prototype.
Maintenance and repair operations
Enhance maintenance efficiency with AR applications that deliver real-time instructions. Overlay interactive 3D models onto equipment to improve technicians’ understanding and accuracy, ensuring they have key information to avoid errors and downtime.
Remote collaboration and decision-making
Enhance team collaboration and stakeholder communication with immersive 3D visualizations. Create spatial context using real-world data and enable intuitive understanding for workers and decision-makers alike, driving more informed decisions.
Better passenger experiences
Enhance passenger journeys with interactive, personalized experiences. XR technology enables real-time travel information and entertainment on embedded systems, creating seamless integration between the digital and physical worlds.

Reaching new heights with a next-gen digital twin
Chris Gilliland, Director of Innovation at Vancouver Airport Authority, shares how Vancouver International Airport (YVR) used Unity to build one of the world’s most advanced digital twins, and how it became crucial to their daily operations.
Frequently asked questions
The foundational industrial use is to visualize data and build realistic, dynamic experiences from 3D models, such as computer-aided design (CAD) assemblies. These interactive digital twins of physical products open opportunities to enhance processes and workflows across the business, from R&D to operations and marketing.
Yes. For basic interactive workflows, use Unity Asset Transformer Toolkit to directly import CAD files.
For highly complex, heavy data, you can use Unity Asset Transformer Studio (interactive process) or Unity Asset Transformer SDK to preprocess your CAD model into a format that can be easily imported into Unity, including prefabs, FBX, and glTF.
