Ford has recently announced the implementation of a new technology into their design process. This technology comes in the form of Microsoft HoloLens. HoloLens is an advanced system that uses virtual reality to virtually imagine objects three-dimensionally. Ford plans to use this new technology heavily in their vehicular design process.
Ford’s consistent innovation has become a staple of the company. They are constantly updating their vehicles and the technology used to construct them. Ford is one of the most adaptable and advanced companies in the industry. HoloLens will likely become a big part of the company’s design process.
HoloLens works by producing 3D images in virtual reality. The user is able to actively work on the project, completing changes and updates as they go. This offers a lot of unique opportunities for Ford. The program should allow Ford’s workers to complete projects exponentially faster. Additionally, Ford designers and engineers will be able to work on projects from across the world. No longer will design teams be limited by location; HoloLens allows them to work on projects virtually anywhere.
This new technology could be very big for Ford. The company believes that it should speed up production heavily; that means that time and resources can be put towards other projects. These projects could be new vehicles or new styles. The company is already working quickly towards electric and autonomous vehicles. Giving the company a better design process could lead to some significant changes in the near future.
