Case Study: Kia Motors speeds car design reviews with Varjo XR and Autodesk VRED

Kia Motors cuts design review time from 4 days to 1 hour with Varjo

Kia Motors sought to enhance its automotive design process by moving beyond traditional 2D screens and physical clay models. The challenge was to create a more immersive, efficient, and collaborative visualization workflow for its global teams. To address this, Kia partnered with vendor Varjo, utilizing its XR-1 mixed reality headset supported by Autodesk VRED software.

The solution implemented by Varjo provided Kia's designers with a photorealistic, mixed reality environment. This allowed for real-scale virtual model reviews, the ability to overlay digital data onto physical prototypes, and seamless remote collaboration. The results were significant, with Varjo enabling design review times to be reduced from several days to just one hour, saving vast amounts of time and money while ensuring reliable collaboration during global travel restrictions.
