Tokyo Motor Showgoers Produced Nissan IDx Virtual Reality Concept Cars Using Innovative Technology
Nissan introduced a visionary co-creation strategy to invite a global community of drivers and enthusiasts to enter into a dialogue with Nissan and help shape automotive design for a generation of drivers. Nissan unveiled the first tangible fruits of the co-creation process at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show - the IDx Freeflow and IDx NISMO concept cars. The IDx NISMO is a racecar that looks as if it came straight out of a driving simulator game. Innovative and eye-catching though they are, the two concepts are just the beginning of the IDx possibilities. Nissan partnered with digital agency AKQA to build an immersive virtual world that allowed motor show visitors to co-create their own designs at the Nissan stand. It was powered by groundbreaking Virtual Reality technology from Oculus.
Well over a hundred concept car images were co-created and shared on social media. The most popular among the Tokyo Motor Show visitors to the IDx kiosk on the Nissan stand was the extreme sports interpretation of the IDx NISMO. A unique re-imagining of the IDx Freeflow, a coupe interpretation, came a very close second.
On entering the 3D experience by putting on goggles, each user was given a base chassis of a Nissan IDx concept car to accompany them on their co-creation journey. With it, the viewer traveled through a series of immersive 3D worlds, each requiring the user to make a choice before they could continue. Each choice was designed to find out about the individual user and their needs and desires as a driver: are they a thrill-seeker or a laid-back cruiser? A petrol head or an electric rebel? Nissan IDx was the canvas on which they drew their dream car.
