The Mercedes-Benz experimental Safety Vehicle ESF 2009 showcases 13 most advanced safety technologies. For an accompanying travelling exhibition, Milla & Partner created the "Virtual Safety Shell", demonstrating how the interaction of different safety technologies in the vehicle expands the protecting zone for passengers far beyond the body of the car. The exhibition is reminiscent of a research or measurement station: visitors can explore the Virtual Safety Shell and the ESF 2009, experiencing the more than 30 technical innovations of the ESF 2009 via exhibits and interactive terminals. Design and staging of the exhibition illustrate the precision of the safety systems and the function mode of the Virtual Safety Shell. Photos: Andreas Keller
