Ford has long been at the forefront of automotive technology. Since its creation, the company has continually put forward new vehicles and new technologies that helped keep them at the forefront of the auto market. Today is no different, and Ford continues to make advances in order to keep pushing the company forward.
The most recent development in Ford technology comes in the form of a Microsoft virtual reality tool. This tool is called Microsoft HoloLens. HoloLens is a goggle headset that allows its users to virtually imagine objects in 3D in front of them. Ford plans on using this advanced technology in designing their vehicles.
Ford believes that this new technology could significantly benefit the company. Firstly, the technology allows Ford workers to work considerably faster. It allows the design team to test out hypothesis and different concepts without significant construction. Additionally, the technology will allow employees from across the globe to work on a single project. The HoloLens allows them to work on the project without being in the shop.
Implementing the HoloLens technology is just another step in Ford’s continuing journey towards better and more efficient technologies. This implementation is just one in a wake of recent changes the company has made. Ford has recently announced their goal to focus heavily on electric and autonomous vehicles. Ford seems to be looking into the future with these new technologies, and Microsoft’s HoloLens will likely play a big part in designing Ford’s upcoming vehicles.
