NANCHANG, Oct. 21 -- What will replace smartphones in becoming our most indispensable gadget in daily and digital life?
It may be a futuristic and ambitious answer that a pair of virtual reality (VR) glasses could allow us to make calls and surf the digital realm by just moving our eyeballs, but in China, this idea has been met with uNPRecedented enthusiasm.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of residents in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, flocked to the city's exhibition center where a VR expo was being held as part of the ongoing 2018 World Conference on VR Industry.
Visitors formed long lines outside demonstration booths just to have a quick go at the new technology that projects them into a simulated 3D environment where they can fly, fight monsters or gaze at the Milky Way.
"People are willing to queue for two hours for a five-minute try," said Xu Chao, a sales trainer with HTC, a Taiwan-based tech firm that is displaying its VR helmet Vive at the event. "There are parents with children, but most visitors are young people."
At a forum also held in Nanchang, experts and industry representatives were optimistic about the technology's ascendance in the world, especially in China, a huge digital market that is promoting innovation and economic upgrading.
"China's role [in VR development] has been on the rise -- 95 percent of the world's VR equipment is produced in China, and many VR content in app stores now comes from Chinese developers," said Alvin Graylin, president of HTC China.
