I’ve just had my first day in Nanchang, China. I’m here to attend the WCVRI , a very big event about Virtual Reality in China, where I am exhibiting HitMotion: Reloaded , the mixed reality fitness game of my agency New Technology Walkers ( contact us if you need some VR development!). Is it really important? And… how is Nanchang?

If the answer is no, then WCVRI is not interesting for you, because it is an event very China-oriented. China is a very interesting market for VR, because the government is investing a lot in it. Maybe if you have a game you want to promote big in China, other exhibitions like the ChinaJoy are more suitable.

HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). I’ve met Noah 2 times in China, and for two times I’ve been able to appreciate his amazing technical competence (he’s a genius, really) and his passion for XR. 3 Headsets come from China with love.

This seems crazy to me: HTC has always been blamed for its high prices (well, $1400 for the Vive Pro was a bit too much…) but the Vive Focus Plus , that is an enterprise device, costs $799… $200 less than the Business Quest! Me trying a SteamVR multiroom setup in Beijing, China. not VR 2.0.
