Brief Explanation

Every year in the UAE over 6,000 people are killed and 85,000 are injured in road accidents. With an increase in distracted motorists, the likelihood of an accident is accelerating at an alarming rate. To address this issue, Volvo created a remarkable safety feature- Volvo’s Pedestrian Detection System. And to showcase it, an innovative web banner that invites users to a first-hand experience. Through the web camera, the banner creates a virtual silhouette of the user. So, when the silhouette appears in front of the moving Volvo, the user experiences how Volvo’s safety feature can actually save your life.
