  • Tokyo Motor Showgoers Produce Over 100 Nissan Idx Virtual Reality Concept Car Images Using Innovative Co-Creation Process
    Tokyo Motor Showgoers Produce Over 100 Nissan IDx Virtual Reality Concept Car Images Using Innovative Co-Creation Process Most popular among visitors to the IDx kiosk at the Tokyo Motor Show Nissan stand was the IDx NISMO extreme sports interpretation Immense variety of virtual cars reflects the personalities of the co-creators Co-creation project points towards new ways of engaging digital natives with the auto industry [London - December 3, 2013] – The way people buy cars is changing. A choice of colors and matching rims is no longer enough. In a society where cars are purchased as a reflection – and enabler - of a driver’s lifestyle, the way future models are designed needs to be revolutionized. This was the thinking behind the Nissan IDx co-creation idea: using the 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 new 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 Freeflow is laid-back, simple and clean. 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.
