Per Honda’s United States arm, the Honda VR Design Studio is used to leverage VR and mixed reality technology to fast-track the development of new Honda vehicles.

Honda further explained that VR has quickly become a critical tool for its automotive designers in the development of future mobility products, including electric vehicles.

In fact, Honda shared that the 2024 Prologue full-electric sport utility vehicle was the first Honda model designed primarily through VR visualization technology, which was critical in overcoming collaboration and efficiency challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our design teams used the latest VR technology to envision Prologue in different environments and to accelerate cross-collaboration between Honda styling teams in the US and Japan. It’s an ongoing effort to further explore the technical capabilities of VR and mixed reality in our development centers globally, and we're really excited about what this will mean for the Honda products of the future,” said Honda VR Design Leader Mathieu Geslin.
