2025 NORTH AMERICAN ZERO PROTOTYPES DAY

EXPLORE THE FUTURE OF AUTOMOTIVE DEVELOPMENT
AT THE 2025 NORTH AMERICAN ZERO PROTOTYPES DAY

 

We’re excited to announce the 2025 North American Zero Prototypes Day, a unique, one-day event designed to bring VI-grade’s latest simulation technologies, hands-on demos, and automotive innovation closer to our local community.

Inspired by the flagship ZERO PROTOTYPES Summit taking place in May at our SimCenter in Udine, Italy, this regional event will echo its energy, vision, and purpose: to advance vehicle development without physical prototypes.

What to Expect:

  • Live Simulator Demonstrations: Explore our cutting-edge DiM dynamic driving simulator, Full-Spectrum Simulator (FSS), and HiL solutions like AutoHawk

  • Interactive Software Stations: Engage with real-time vehicle model development using VI-CarRealTime, evaluate ADAS scenarios in VI-WorldSim, and analyze NVH behavior with VI-NVHSim

  • Mixed-Reality Experiences: See how HMI concepts come to life in virtual environments

  • Expert-Led Presentations: Gain insight into simulation-driven development from VI-grade engineers and special guests from the North American automotive ecosystem, including testimonials from Honda Motors, Hitachi Astemo, Mcity; Multimatic and others.

  • Networking and Collaboration: Connect with peers, partners, and pioneers pushing the boundaries of digital vehicle engineering
     

Immersive Demonstration Experiences

 

At the North American ZeroPrototypes Day, attendees will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of interactive demo stations showcasing the latest advancements in simulation, ADAS development, and NVH testing. From dynamic driving simulators to cloud-based data tools, each experience is designed to highlight practical applications and integrated development workflows.


Demo Experiences Include:

  • Watch high-performance motorsport simulation on the DiM250 DYNAMIC Simulator
  • Compare detailed Adams RT models through data replay on the COMPACT FSS
  • Experience high-fidelity interior VR for ADAS simulation on the STATIC Simulator
  • Test and validate ADAS features using NewEagle ECUs and the DESKTOP Simulator
  • Achieve road noise targets with a hybrid CAE and test approach using VI-NVHSim
  • Accelerate ADAS development with VI-WorldSim
  • Unlock Data Insights Using Investigation and Diagnostic Modes in VI-DataDrive Cloud


NVH User Group Session – Exploring What’s Next with VI-NVHSim
 

All event attendees interested in NVH applications will be invited to join a focused session hosted on June 12trh from 2pm to 4.30pm right after the NVH customer presentations on the latest advancements in VI-NVHSim and how users are pushing the limits of NVH simulation. Highlights include:

  • What’s New in VI-NVHSim: A quick look at the latest features in releases 2025.1 SP1 and 2025.2
  • Expanding the Role of NVH Simulation: Hear how users are leveraging VI-NVHSim for:
    • Advanced sound design
    • Change modeling in both CAE and test environments
    • Exterior sound simulation for EVs and beyond
  • "Kelby's Office Hours" – Open Q&A: An interactive feedback session where you can share your input and help guide the future direction of VI-NVHSim.

Whether you’re focused on ride and handling, NVH, ADAS, or next-generation HMI, this event offers a concentrated look at how VI-grade technologies can accelerate your development workflows - all in a single, immersive day.
