Trying out Ford’s Virtual Reality Room

This is Ford’s main Virtual Reality lab, in the world.

How it works:

Before even a prototype vehicle is built, it’s presented and analyzed to find fit-and-finish errors, quality control issues, aerodynamics, ergonomics, visibility and design flaws. Just about anything the customer will experience is replicated here.

For example – the fuse door on the new Mustang would have hit the dash when opened, so that was altered before the car went into production.

Soon as the helmet went on, my instinct was to reach out and try to touch the car.

I know *typed with rolling eyes*

Why oh why didn’t I take a photo throughout the goggles?

The red cameras are the the ones that track your movements.
