Force feedback technology in association with highly immersive haptic-graphic virtual environments can be used to assist in effective Human Factors design. With such technology designers of aesthetic shapes such as a car body can manipulate shape models in real-time looking at a stereoscopic image and feeling its haptic sensation as if it were a prototype model. Functionalities of the dashboard, gear shift and steering mechanism can also be simulated with the appropriate hardware.
