Summary:

This three-year project is being undertaken at the Digital Design Studio, Glasgow School of Art in partnership with Ford of Britain, and with funding support from the British Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The primary aim of the project is to build a prototype that will enable the car-buying public to configure and interact with a car model in a 3D semi-immersive virtual environment. The objective of this system is threefold: 1) to aid the decision-making process of buying a car; 2) to give the potential car buyer the freedom to select all aspects of the car from the colour and body style to engine size and options packages and; 3) to view and interact with their choices in a photo-realistic 3D environment.This paper outlines the context in which the system is being built and the Human Factors/HCI design approach that is being implemented in the life cycle of the project
