so you might be wondering why I'm rockin this headgear I'm inside a virtual ford fusion right now this is the virtual reality technology that engineers use to decide where they want to put every knob on a car before it's made and we're here to find out more about what you said janiers get out of it comes down to the accuracy of tracking so today we're just tracking your head and we're tracking hands but we also do full body tracking as well the real leaps and bounds have been jumping on the backs of you know the gaming industry's and hollywood whose elevated this technology to a really high level the see movies like rise of the planet of the apes or avatar and all those characters are you know animated through the motions of real humans that is a extremely powerful tool we're no longer drawing it frame by frame and we just use the same technology that allows us to immerse our designers our stylists are engineers in future model product two or three years before we actually have any physical parts viewing the product from the perspective the customer the passenger allows them to make choices that they would otherwise have a hard time making on a computer screen virtual reality to the actual ford fusion this is what the virtual reality helped today when you're talking about human factors which is a branch of ergonomics the thing that makes your apple phone so intuitive the process of the flow you go through to navigate know if you want to change your right to setting or some setting you usually don't need to look at emmanuel so we invest a lot of time and effort into human factors so products like our myford touch you know our touchscreen system it's an intuitive interface that people can kind of flow through can they reach this dial is this you know they're all evaluated to make sure our customers are sitting and getting the experience that makes them feel comfortable we want people to love it for its design not just the form and function of having a car so this kind of technology facilitates that because we can sit in the product before you know freezing that design and making parts all right it's time to roll out of here miss Tina com I'm Bridget you oh no I have no legs oh my god
