Work on high-tech AR & VR park commences in Hainan

Work on the Haikou XLoong AR & VR High-tech Park began at the Haikou National High-tech Zone in Haikou, Hainan province, on Wednesday.

The high-tech park, which is the first of its kind in the China (Hainan) Free Trade Zone, was launched in Hainan after the central government decided to transform the Hainan island into a pilot free trade zone in April and gradually explore the building of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics.

In its package of guidelines designed to support Hainan's comprehensive reform and opening up, Hainan was encouraged to further develop augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to further its advances in next generation of information technologies.
