AR glasses give enhanced sector clarity

China to encourage software firms to devise more innovative applications

Wang Liming, a software engineer in Beijing, decided to buy Apple's augmented reality glasses after trying them on in an offline experience store.

"Despite the high price tag of 29,999 yuan ($4,128), I did not hesitate. It is no longer just a gaming device. It can really help me work better by providing an infinite 3D virtual canvas for various apps," Wang said.

Wang is not alone. After Apple officially kicked off sales of its Vision Pro in China on June 28, more Chinese consumers are willing to try such new cutting-edge gadgets, and more domestic companies are eager to expand their presence in the market, experts and company executives said.
