BLUR
This advanced concept was developed in San Diego around 2000 but added to later in San
Francisco at the Nissan Design Lab. The design is intended to blur the boundaries between being in
a vehicle and experiencing it in an outside venue like tailgating, camping or just hanging out.

| Alias animation software is a great presentation tool but I use it more for mechanical workouts of things like folding seats, etc. With the time slider I can run through the motions and observe what's happening at any point in time - checking for interferences, ergonomic relationships and so forth. This link on the right is for the Blur seating concept. |
