Jaguar Land Rover has opened its new 'virtual reality centre' at its design and engineering facility in Gaydon.

The £2 million design facility was created in order to speed up product development cycles using audio visual projections.

Engineers and designers are able to see and interact with life-size, three-dimensional models of vehicles and components. The system reduces the need for physical prototypes, saving both time and money.
