Ford`s VRC, or Virtual Reality Cave, helps the company`s product engineers in North America to evaluate the design before the production. `Having VRCs on both sides of the Atlantic supports the Global Product Development System and Way Forward by allowing management teams in North America and Europe to make consistent decisions based on shared data and to make them more quickly` said James Forbes, the technical leader at Ford Core Vehicle Architecture.

"The VRC enables design engineers to evaluate the ergonomics of the interior and clarity of views — any visual aspect of a vehicle’s interior architecture" said Bob Coury, the supervisor at Ford Core Vehicle Architecture.

"We’re moving faster and getting the right product out the first time" said Kevin Shores, the static test engineer at Ford Core Vehicle Architecture.

"In the VRC, virtually anything you can see on a vehicle can be duplicated, from the A pillar to the underbody" affirmed Coury.
