The subject of this thesis is the design, validation and further developement of a mixed-reality car model as a method in the product development process regarding ergonomic interior concepts. Consisting of a visual simulation in addition to a distinctive haptic feedback realized by a variable hardware model this mixed-reality system enlarges the scope of analysis featured by conventional CAD methods. To validate the mixed-reality car model mulitple experimental studies confirm that seating positions and driver postures match in reality and in mixed-reality as well as the prevention of distortion in perception of size caused by the visualization. A further study attests the importance of haptic feedback in the simulation. Additionally, the method of percentile simulation is introduced, a further developement of the mixed-reality system, targeting to put oneself in someone elses perspective to experience the interior of a car.
