A system that allows 20 people to participate simultaneously in the development of the design of a car. It is the new frontier crossed by the Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors Corporation thanks to the debut of the new VR design evaluation system.

it Is a new technology that is part of an investment of 15 billion KRW (12.8 million USD) in the Centre of Research and Development, distribution / wholesale, announced by Hyundai and Kia in march 2019. Through the full implementation of the development processes of the virtual during the phases of research and development and pre-production, the two brands provide a 20% reduction in the development times of vehicles and a 15% reduction in their annual costs.

“The development process of the virtual is a necessary step to respond quickly and react fast to the needs of customers and the paradigm shifts within the automotive industry,” said Albert Biermann, the Head of the R&D Division of Hyundai Motor Group. “Through the processes of the virtual enhanced we will improve the quality and profitability leading to increase the investment in research and development to ensure the competitiveness in the mobility of the future”.

In addition to the reduction of the costs, it is expected that these new technologies will increase profitability and to generate a continuous cycle of investment in Research and Development.

viewers VR enable designers and engineers to virtually enter in the simulations of the development, with 36 sensors that can track and locate the positions and movements of all users, allowing each of them to participate in a precise way and in real time. The new VR design evaluation system can currently support up to 20 users at the same time, ensuring the collaboration of cross-team extended always.

accordingly, this new state of the art facility allows the designer of the two brands to review in the most efficient way a multitude of design ideas in advance within the process of development, and in ways that were previously physically impossible. The system mimics design elements of the interior and exterior lights, colors, and materials, and even the same virtual environments.
