Even in the era of high-end virtual prototyping, nothing matches a physical prototype. At ZURI, we are using honeycomb reinforced cardboard to create a cabin interior with all elements such as seats, doors, and control panels.
Such a prototype helps the team create a real-life experience that complements the virtual prototyping. By sitting in a model seat, our lead designer can instantly feel the space, and distance from other elements inside the cabin and can make important decisions about ergonomics.
