Abstract
Several Virtual Reality (VR) centers have been built in the automotive companies in China since 2004. This article analysed the current status, achievement and issues in these VR centers, and described how to make better use of the VR technology, from the view of VR recognition, VR process and VR application. Then it explored how to improve the hardware and software of VR to meet the requirements of research and development of automotive industry so that the virtual reality could play the even more significant role in boosting the research and development of automotive products.
