During the development phase of the configurator, the project team was inspired by solutions found in the hotel and luxury car industries, taking digital technologies and the customization experience to another level. The result is an interactive configurator that offers superior ambiance opportunities and over 120 layout options. A panoramic 3D view lets the user project themself into a real-life situation, to test their cabin configuration choice. The details of the personalized configuration can then be downloaded to assist them with their choices. |
