Abstract: A system that allows customers to collaborate with vehicle accessory manufacturers to design accessories in an augmented reality environment. A customer decision making and purchasing experience is greatly improved when viewing a physical showroom model (or other real-world model) of a vehicle they intend to purchase and/or customize. The system allows the user to select and customize virtual accessories for the physical vehicle, then overlay those virtual accessories atop the physical vehicle in an augmented reality environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow customers to collaborate with vehicle accessory manufacturers to design accessories in an augmented reality (AR) environment and manufacture the designed accessories through a rapid manufacturing technique, such as 3D printing. The disclosed systems and methods allow progression from augmented reality-designed accessories to 3D printed designs manufactured either at the dealer or at a regional printing center. The 3D printed designs may be installed on the customer's vehicle, enabling a dealership to provide tailor-made, custom products designed through an AR application.
