Volkswagen and Fraunhofer IGD developed and published a novel approach for geometric validation. The "Measurement Based AR for Geometric Validation Within Automotive Engineering and Construction Processes" MVP was build from the beginning on the instant3Dhub platform. The finally deployed system has the following feature:

• Efficiency in prototyping is increased by mixing physical and virtual parts
• High Accuracy due to measurement arm
• Measurements between Real and Virtual Parts
• PDM integration without conversion or loss of data quality e.g., assembly structure or meta data
• Large model rendering & Mixed Reality via use of a Visual-Computing-as-a-Service Infrastructure
• Support for almost any CAD format
