Simam Digital was engaged as the development for the creation of the A2RL VR App — a groundbreaking live streaming and immersive racing experience for the world’s first extreme autonomous racing series.
A2RL (Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League) is a global showcase of cutting-edge autonomous technology, bringing together the world’s top educational and technological institutions to push the limits of AI-powered racing. Established by ASPIRE under the UAE’s Advanced Technology Research Council, A2RL is designed to accelerate R&D in AI, autonomous vehicles, and mobility innovation.
The VR app allowed audiences to step directly into the racing action, streaming live autonomous F1-style racing from the iconic Yas Marina Circuit, enhanced with interactive 3D environments, real-time telemetry, and dynamic race visuals.
