Honda is using advanced virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality technology to accelerate the development of new Honda vehicles. The Honda VR Design Studios in Los Angeles have been revealed in a new video, offering a first-ever look into how Honda is leveraging this technology.

VR has become a critical tool for Honda designers in the development of future mobility products, such as EVs. Honda is continuing to expand the use of these tools in LA and Japan. The 2024 Honda Prologue full-electric SUV was the first Honda model designed primarily through virtual reality visualization technology. This technology 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 U.S. and Japan," said Mathieu Geslin, Honda VR Design Leader. "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."

The all-new Honda Prologue will have more details released in the coming months, and customers are encouraged to sign up for updates on the Honda website. With Honda's dedication to using cutting-edge technology in their design process, the future of Honda products is looking bright.
