"China has a huge market, and the Chinese people are passionate about new technologies," he told Xinhua. "China has the largest number of viewers of Ready Player One [a film set in a future VR game] in the world."
And it is not just the Chinese public who are interested. The central government has promised to support the development of VR technologies that have become a fast-growing market in China. At the local level, many cities and provinces have as such issued policies to nurture VR expertise and industry.
Jiangxi, traditionally not on par with manufacturing and innovation powerhouses in the coastal region, launched a VR industrial base in 2016 to brew what it sees as a coming technological revolution. Its hosting of the VR conference is expected to guide new waves of investment into the province known for its well-developed electronic information industry.
VR technologies simulate a virtual environment that resembles reality. Wearing equipment such as helmets and glasses, users feel as if they have been placed in a new environment, such as a picturesque island or a room they can furnish.
Its technological brother augmented reality (AR) projects virtual items into the images of the real world, while mixed reality (MR) presents a world where real and virtual objects co-exist. VR, AR and MR can be widely applied in education, training, entertainment, tourism and online shopping.
However, although VR and AR technologies are already serving business customers, such as designers and manufacturers, experts say it could be another few years before the creation of small, light VR glasses that combine VR, AR and communication functions occurs.
