In a bid to boost relations with customers, Tata Motors is planning on launching VR (virtual reality) showrooms which would give would-be buyers a five-dimension experience.
First of such showrooms are expected to come up by second half of 2017. The idea is to create a system like the ones in use at some Disneyland parks where visitors can feel or smell the ocean through virtual reality.
These VR systems will be self-operated, with a only an executive to receive customers and collect data, according to a report on Autocar India. The objective of these showrooms is to 'excite' the customers enough to make them want to go for a test drive.
Tata Motors also wants to tackle the problem of high real estate costs of setting up conventional showrooms at some parts of cities like Mumbai and Delhi.
