🚗🔬 Bridging virtual development and real-world validation How can we close the gap between simulation and proving ground testing? That's exactly what we'll demonstrate at Explore-to-Innovate 2026 together with IFM - Institut für Fahrerassistenz und vernetzte Mobilität, 4activeSystems, STÄHLE GmbH, and GeneSys Elektronik GmbH. Visitors will experience how virtual and physical testing environments seamlessly interact through two live demonstrations:  ✅ Mixed-Reality Vehicle-in-the-Loop   ✅ Simulation-Based Test Control Virtual  🎤 In the Science Talk, Jan Oberst will present:  "Continuous Test Strategies for Bridging Virtual Development and Proving Ground Validation"  🗓 July 8 | 📍 IFM, Benningen  🕚 11:40 a.m. In this talk, we explore how continuous test workflows, Vehicle-in-the-Loop, Mixed Reality and automated proving ground concepts can help close the gap between simulation and real-world validation – enabling greater efficiency, reproducibility and simulation credibility for future vehicle development. We look forward to discussing the future of integrated validation strategies with you at Explore-to-Innovate 2026. #ExploreToInnovate2026 #CarMaker #ADAS #AutomatedDriving #Simulation #VehicleInTheLoop #MixedReality #Validation #Testing #AutomotiveEngineering #Innovation #IPGAutomotive
