The amount of money that they can save on having to physically do a build of a design — a first iteration of a car, what have you — I mean, that’s millions of dollars of time in labor that they can save if they can learn as much as they can through a VR simulation of the car. Bob: It was kind of a model simulator.

I think the seated motion simulators are pretty safe. It was a 6DOF simulation machine. Bob: Yeah, look, I think that there’s a lot of bad motion simulation out there in VR, which triggers motion sickness. If it’s not done well, it can actually exacerbate the simulator sickness that you get. It was wild.
