Idea
Homotopy products are Cartesian products in homotopy theory, hence are a special case of homotopy limits for the case that the the indexing diagram is a discrete category.
Computation
In any model category, the homotopy product of a family of objects {A i} i∈I\{A_i\}_{i\in I} can be computed by fibrantly replacing each A iA_i and computing the (ordinary) Cartesian product of the resulting family {RA i} i∈I\{\mathrm{R}A_i\}_{i\in I} of fibrant objects.
