Hyundai now using VR to design new cars and SUVs

Source: Driving.ca

Hyundai and Kia have introduced a new virtual reality design evaluation system that allows up to 20 people to work on the same project at the same time. 

Debuting at the companies' global HQ, the Namyang Research and Development Center in South Korea, the system enables the brands' engineers and anyone else wearing the headsets to view and, thanks to 36 motion tracking sensors, engage with the simulations in real-time.

This means design concepts can be reviewed early on in the process, and simulations of interior and exterior details, lighting, colours and finishes can be mocked up and experienced more easily.

"The virtual development process is a necessary step for responding quickly and reacting with agility to the needs of customers and paradigm shifts within the automotive industry," said Albert Biermann, Head of Research and Development Division for Hyundai Motor Group, in a press release.

Through reinforced virtual processes, we will enhance quality and profitability, ultimately increasing investment in R&D to secure competitiveness in future mobility.
