Vision AVTR was an incredible journey.
Coming up with a futuristic car inspired by the movie Avatar is not easy.
There were so many people and ideas involved from the very beginning.
I was able to develop early stage proportional models and visualizations with my team.
We also made several 3D-printed prototypes to understand shape and effect.
As the final design was selected, I developed the exterior design together with Alexander Dang, who was the lead designer.
Being the hub for exterior shape-data was a dream for me.
I was involved in all major digital presentations and created a lot of exterior content for those,
I was deeply involved in making the car producable,
which showed to be a challenge.
Till the very end I actually created production-data myself.
Dream project.

I was lucky enough being one of the few sent to CES2020 for showing our Vision AVTR to so many interested people. It was a beautifully prepared guided experience, taking people into the world of our functional showcar.

The car made a midnight ride on the Las Vegas strip. Clash of Worlds!
