Aneto
Mixed reality at the service of the aeronautical industry
Safran chose HoloForge to showcase Aneto, its new family of engines for super-medium and heavy helicopters, at the Helicopter Association International (HAI) event held in Atlanta in March 2019.
Through a HoloLens, users were immersed in Safran’s engineering world and discovered the specific features of this new engine range, all in mixed reality. The application was initially designed to enhance the experience of a real physical engine, placed right in front of the visitor.
When viewed through the headset, the engine appeared as an exploded view, with its various modules revealed as holograms. This educational and engaging experience allowed users to understand the engine’s capabilities, including its ability to extend the range of helicopters equipped with it.
A second, fully virtual version was later developed, enabling product demonstrations even without the physical engine present. This became an innovative and powerful marketing tool, easily deployable at meetings or trade shows.
