Jaguar Land Rover’s virtual garage is future of automotive production

At the British Science festival in Birmingham Jaguar Land Rover showed the £2.5 million ($ 4 million) ‘virtual garage’ they have developed. The virtual garage claimed the most advanced virtual reality facility amid all auto manufactures, consists of eight Sony 4K digital camera projectors and 22 Sun Microsystems advanced PCs. The virtual garage with bespoke touchscreen interface control will be used to frame 3D diagrams of any new vehicle and will also be used to check manufacturing and assembly process of the new vehicles by putting them through a range of virtual tests.

Manager of the Simulation Group at Jaguar Land Rover, Andy Richardson emphasizing on the future beyond the virtual garage says:

We also want to create a virtual factory so that the assembly process can be fully assessed for efficiency, ergonomics and warranty issues. We will be adding a virtual driving simulation, including human machine interface capability and the ability to produce HD realistic photography and film to support launch and marketing.
