Customers will be able to sit inside the Discovery Sport, look around, and fold seats down even though the car isn't actually there. How? With a program on their iPhone.
The technology hinges on the Durovis Dive headset, which you put an iPhone into while running an app.
You look through this headset at a weird cardboard box, and the app simulates the presence of a Discovery Sport.
Land Rover describes the system as being "immersed in a detailed photo-realistic 3D model of the New Discovery Sport." It's not photo-realistic really, but it still looks pretty good.
Finally they use this, I remember Mercedes used some very similar tech for Mercedes CLA displays. Great way to show people what it's like with a simulator like that.
It is pretty cool. Just trying out the technology itself is cool, and if that gets them to totally check out a Discovery Sport then Land Rover is probably okay with that.
it beats anything else at the moment as they probably have yet to get a Discovery, this tech should be getting people interested enough to see a real disco in person.

If I were in the dealership I would probably check this out but I think it would be more to see what the virtual reality technology is like and second to check out the Disco Sport.

I guess it depends on how good the virtual reality tech was. I just get the impression that the experience wouldn't be so amazing that it is really like seeing the Disco Sport. If it was though, then I would be excited for both, but if not, I wouldn't find a poor quality look at the Discovery Sport to be that exciting.
Nonsense, I can wait. Do you make purchase decisions from only looking at the brochure pictures? I certainly hope not, how is this any more advanced than that?

When did I ever say that I would purchase only based on pictures? No, I like to see what I am buying in person first. I wouldn't even visit the dealership for the VR tech, but if I was already there I would try it out.

Exactly, anyone really serious about getting one would ultimately want to see the real deal.
I wouldn't waste my time to make the trip out to see some simulator in person, rather see the real deal in one shot and accomplished a lot all right there and then.
This is for my long overdue project; to fix b-pillar ticking noise. I tried to remove the cover, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the airbag part. I know the cover itself can be easily removed by hand without any tools, but the airbag part still holds the cover... How can I remove it...
Is this true statement?
"B pillar tick issue exists for all DS vehicles 2015-2017"
Was just reading another post on different Thread.
Please let me know if there is a chance that this is true
so if I am buying a new 2017 DS, that would be a case?:eek::crying::crying:
Good morning, I'm new here and I need a little guidance. I have a 2016 Discovery Sport and up until about 4 weeks ago it was more or less fine. The only issue I had with it is having to add coolant once a month or so because it drinks it. However that is not my current issue. I went out this...
I'm looking to buy a DS - need the space for family mostly.
I am currently comparing 2 as noted in title. The 2017 HSE black looks fab but has 20" wheels - are these an issue? I had 20" on a Honda Civic years ago and every slight bump in the road punctured a tyre - 8 new tyres in 14 months...
Okay so I finally bit the bullet and got this done. I did it over the weekend, in about 4 hours. The time consuming part was refitting the rear bumper, and of course cutting the fairing and bumper.
Curt sent me two sets of pictures.. one of a white Disco with what appeared to be a...
