Nissan dealers welcome Star Wars-themed Augmented Reality Experience to demonstrate advanced technologies

NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - November 28, 2017) -

• "See the Unseen" experience debuts in Nissan dealerships in early December
• Nissan Intelligent Mobility Technologies demonstrated by Star Wars characters from Star Wars: The Last Jedi using Augmented Reality
• Rogue, Maxima and TITAN featured in this unique demonstration

Vehicle shopping has never been more space age. Beginning in December, visitors to Nissan dealership showrooms nationwide can play with Nissan's new augmented reality app to experience advanced vehicle safety technologies through a Star Wars interactive lens.

Nissan dealers across the country soon will showcase an augmented reality experience called "See the Unseen," featuring digital droids, stormtroopers and other popular iconography from the upcoming Lucasfilm movie Star Wars: The Last Jedi, in theaters December 15th. It all comes to life in Nissan showrooms nationwide in December as an interactive tool for educating customers on Nissan's Intelligent Mobility technologies.

"In our collaboration with Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we have brought 'Retail Theater' to Nissan showrooms and found exciting ways to engage customers with a new world of technology," said Jeremy Tucker, vice president of Marketing for Nissan North America. "While the competition is focused on Santa Claus and red bows this holiday season, we are filling our dealerships with stormtroopers, Virtual Reality and the new Augmented Reality Experience, making the Nissan shopping experience much more fun, engaging and educational."

Once inside the showroom, customers can use a specially prepared augmented reality device to select a Nissan Rogue, Maxima and TITAN and activate the experience. Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety- and driving assistance-related technologies, including ProPILOT Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Intelligent Around View Monitor, are all part of the experience. As each technology is selected, Star Wars characters appear to help visually demonstrate the technologies that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

"Driver assist technologies can seem like fantasy to consumers and can be intimidating to those who are unfamiliar. With the help of the beloved characters from Star Wars and the 'See the Unseen' augmented reality technology, we are able to explain Nissan Intelligent Mobility in a way that is relatable and fun," said Tucker.
