Hyundai motorstudio VRChat

Click here to visit the showroom, but to be honest, it's not much more than what you see above — an experimental deployment from an R&D lab associated with Hyundai, it looks like. (And Google has no word about it having some kind of official launch or ribbon cutting, so apparently not a marketing project.) However, this does mean that Hyundai is the largest car company with a presence in VRChat, and not Nissan, as previously reported. But the latter world, by contrast, is being used for marketing, and could definitely use take some advice from what was previously tried in Second Life

Much thanks to François Pierre for the tip!

    Could just be the company using VRChat as an easy platform to show off their models on a headset for a company meeting. That’s the impression I get.

    Hi! My name is Tao and I’m the owner of the Hyundai Motor Studio showroom.
    I work in HMG University based in the suburbs of Seoul where we have the corporate training headquarters for Hyundai and Kia. We ran an executive learning program where we go and study new business models and future tech trends. This showroom was built via a developer on Fiverr to give some of our executives a glimpse of what VR is like.
    It’s definitely not a marketing thing. Just a little test as you correctly surmised. I was exploring ways to make our training programs more exciting during Covid. If you want more info feel free to email me.
