China is becoming a major investor in AR technologies. Digi-Capital data showed $1 billion out of the global total of $1.7 billion of investment in AR and VR fields came from China in the first quarter this year.

"China is a very large market. A lot of current demand on the market can be met with AR technologies," said Zhang Junbin, general manager of YSTen Technology Co Ltd, a company that engages in AR research and development.
