Los Angeles – Honda has unveiled its new virtual reality (VR) design studios located in Los Angeles, highlighting the company’s use of advanced VR and mixed reality technology to speed up the development of new vehicles. The video offers a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology used by Honda designers in creating the future of mobility, including electric vehicles (EVs).
Honda’s VR design teams leveraged the latest VR technology to visualize and collaborate on the design of the upcoming 2024 Honda Prologue full-electric SUV.
