During the last decade, virtual reality (VR) has become a tool used for several applications, from educational to medical, while keeping an eye on gaming and amusement. Lately, VR has established itself as an efficient tool in the automotive field as well. Researchers started to look at VR as a means of accelerating some processes, making them more efficient. In this thesis, I would like to show how VR can be used for the evaluation of the ergonomics of vehicles in the early phases, proving that the production of physical prototypes, which is very time-consuming and cost-consuming, can be delayed. In addition, some situations cannot be evaluated in reality because they are too dangerous or complex to reproduce.
