Qualcomm and Epic Games Partner to Elevate In-Vehicle User Experiences with Unreal Engine and Snapdragon Digital Chassis Solutions

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Epic Games announced the deployment of
Unreal Engine pre-integrated and optimized for the SnapdragonR Cockpit
Platform, a key platform of Qualcomm Technologies’ SnapdragonR Digital
ChassisT solutions, to create an out-of-box solution that empowers global
automakers to deliver immersive user experiences. With the cohesive human
machine interface (HMI) solution, automakers will be equipped to develop
high-quality digital cockpit systems that are customizable and scalable
across all vehicle types, and tiers.

The collaboration marks the first time Unreal Engine is being directly
integrated into Snapdragon automotive platforms. Through the technology
collaboration, global automakers who utilize Snapdragon Digital Chassis
solutions will have exclusive access to Unreal Engine tools with optimized
features, providing powerful, never-before-seen, in-cabin visualization
capabilities, which includes fully customizable 2D and 3D visuals to set new
industry standards for in-cabin environments.

Serving as a creative foundation for design, UX/UI and simulation, Unreal
Engine supports unified assets across all applications, offering fast and
flexible workflows that result in cost savings, while enabling real-time
collaboration and iteration at every stage.

The Snapdragon Cockpit Platform revolutionizes vehicle interaction with
advanced technologies, enhancing user interfaces, connectivity, and in-cabin
environments. Leveraging high-performance computing, immersive graphics, and
AI, it improves user experiences and drives the shift towards connected and
intelligent mobility.

“We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Epic Games to set new
standards of in-vehicle experiences,” said Laxmi Rayapudi, vice president,
product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “By seamlessly integrating
Unreal Engine with Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms, we’re empowering automakers
and the ecosystem to innovate and elevate in-cabin experiences to new
heights. We look forward to showcasing the power of co-innovation to unlock
new possibilities for in-vehicle experiences.”

“Unreal Engine is the most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool,
providing unmatched fidelity and possibilities, whether you’re building for
games or for user interfaces,” said Bill Clifford, vice president and
general manager for Unreal Engine at Epic Games. “Partnering with HMI
pioneer, Qualcomm Technologies, and leveraging the capabilities of Unreal
Engine and the Snapdragon Digital Chassis, we’re excited to see how
automakers usher in the next frontier in in-vehicle experiences.”

The new HMI solution featuring Epic’s Unreal Engine and Snapdragon Cockpit
is currently available for developers. For more information about the
