Ford designers have been swapping some clay-sculpting steels and rakes for mixed reality headsets and visualization software that can change vehicle design elements \u2013 side mirrors, grilles, vehicle interiors and more \u2013 in mere seconds. Designers have been piloting Microsoft HoloLens technology for a year now in Ford\u2019s Dearborn studios, allowing them to see proposed virtual design elements as if these pieces were part of physical vehicles. They\u2019ve been able to explore different shapes, sizes and textures of future vehicle attributes in minutes and hours instead of the weeks and months it can take to create clay models.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Microsoft HoloLens is a powerful tool for designers as we continue to reimagine vehicles and mobility experiences in fast-changing times.\u201d says Jim Holland, Ford Vice President, Vehicle Component and Systems Engineering. Designers see 3D holographic images of themes and features as though these elements were already part of the vehicle \u2013 allowing them to quickly evaluate the design, make changes, and determine styling options earlier in development. \u201cAs a designer, you want to show, not just tell. This is much more compelling\u201d, says Michael Smith, Ford Design Manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>
