		Lancia has becme the first 
		European car manufacturer to develop an iPad application that lets the 
		user virtually enter a car through the Apple tablet's integrated 
		gyroscope. This application for iPad that celebrates and introduces the 
		new "mini flagship" is available for free on the iTunes Store. Available 
		in Italian and English and developed by the Lancia brand in 
		collaboration with Seac02 (a developer of virtual reality and "augmented 
		reality" software), the interactive application makes use of the 
		technological potential of the Apple tablet offered by the integrated 
		gyroscope. It is actually possible to get on board the Lancia Ypsilon 
		through 360° spherical panoramas and discover the trim levels by moving 
		the iPad in space. Even the observation point can be selected: driver, 
		passenger and rear seat. So by orienting the iPad in the direction you 
		want to look, the movement sensors guarantee a visual experience inside 
		the new car. As an alternative, you can rotate the viewpoint of the 
		spherical image after disabling the gyroscope with a special command and 
		touching the touch screen. The car can be turned through 360° in the 
		"Exteriors" section, again by touching the touch screen, to discover its 
		lines and colours in addition to taking a close look at some brand-new 
		details just by clicking. Technology and elegance are the guidelines of 
		all the App's sections, which sets itself apart through the selection of 
		attractive and sophisticated images and videos, as the "Fascination" 
		section demonstrates. Style and innovation are also found in the 
		"Highlights" area. It offers videos of interviews with the designers and 
		engineers that conceived and made the new Ypsilon. The application also 
		reveals the technology of the Lancia city car through in-depth images 
		and reports, as well as its accessories in a photo gallery. Finally, 
		Lancia devotes an entire section to the history of the Ypsilon model: 
		from its birth in 1985 to the debut of the new Ypsilon in 2011, all told 
		through memorable images and events that have accompanied it year after 
		year. The section is completed by a collection of commercials broadcast 
		over the last 25 years.  |
