I can see it now:
"You must stand this way."
"But I'm left handed and it works better for me if I do it from here."
"The computer says you MUST do it ziss vay!" (Instructor turns bright red.) "Do eet ziss vay or you veel be fired!"
"I always wanted a good excuse to open my own shop. Thanks! Oh, and <bleep><bleep> to you, too!"

Sounds pretty cool. I am sure this is only version 1.0 and that future versiions will show 3-D.

If the tech is stupid enough that they need to be told where to stand to start a job, I would wager that the bigger problem isn't the software . . .

Moving towards a custom build.
Looks impressive. Sure, there will be a few glitches and gotchyas along the way, but as models become more individualized, then the repair process needs to keep in step.
In Canada, however, with 6 TDI models to choose from, I doubt that it will make that much of an impact.
Perhaps its a way to train all VW owners to do self-serve maintenance. What a concept. Then you will not need a dealer network at all (except for warranty repairs). Think of the possibilities.
You go to your favourite big box auto mall, Fill out a brief questionnaire about colors, interior options, put in your Universal Debit Card, and out opens a door with your "New to You" automobile.......
