SEOUL -- South Korea's Hyundai auto group is in talks with Samsung Electronics on using a head-mounted display (HMD) for car design. The two companies plan to test the efficiency of a prototype product before deciding whether to introduce Samsung's HMD Odyssey+.

In October, Samsung released HMD Odyssey+ for Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality (MR) platform, a mixture of virtual reality and augmented reality, saying its anti-nausea technology and a comfortable headband adjusting system would allow users to stay longer and get immersed comfortably. HMD Odyssey+ was installed with dual 3.5-inch AMOLED displays and a pair of premium headphones.

With HMD Odyssey+, researchers can share their views by wearing headsets and observing simulated samples. Without creating a sample model through a 3D printer, visualization can be used to confirm a concrete appearance when the design is completed. Correction or supplementation is also possible immediately.
