Toyota Mirai WebGL Interactive Configurator Experience Highlights a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle

TwitterFacebook

Groove Jones worked with our long-time client, Toyota Motor North America (TMNA), to create a stunning WebGL immersive experience that allows customers to configure, explore, and view the new Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). What makes FCEVs unique is that they use hydrogen to produce electricity via a fuel cell to power the vehicle.

The initiative highlights the car’s sophisticated design and features, providing an interactive platform for potential customers to delve into the Mirai’s world in a novel and educational manner.

The project’s primary focus was creating a user-friendly WebGL site designed to let users interactively explore the exterior and interior of the Toyota Mirai in detail. Groove Jones developed detailed 3D models of both the XLE and Limited editions, focusing on delivering high-quality visuals and interactive elements to draw users into the Mirai experience.

Throughout this project, the Groove Jones team leveraged their expertise to address key aspects of the Toyota Mirai’s digital showcase. Recognizing the importance of high-resolution 3D models for interactive exploration without compromising web performance, our team crafted optimized 3D models of the Mirai’s exterior and interior.

This approach offered users various customization options, including six different colors and wheel options for the exterior. It also included a 360-degree panoramic view of the interior with various color and accent options, blending detailed visualization with user engagement.
