Recently, under the guidance of the China Center for Information Industry Development, in collaboration with the Virtual Reality Industry Alliance and the National Science Innovation Venture Capital Co., Ltd., the Chinese Organizing Committee Office launched the first China Virtual Reality Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (referred to as the "Competition") in Beijing. This event marks a significant step forward in promoting innovation within the virtual reality (VR) sector. As noted by Academician Zhao Puping, Chairman of the Virtual Reality Industry Alliance and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, "Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionize people's lives and open up new opportunities for technological advancement across various industries. It could also drive national industrial upgrades and provide new momentum for local economic restructuring."
Virtual reality technology is no longer just a futuristic concept—it's becoming more integrated into daily life. Initially developed for military, aerospace, and manufacturing applications, VR has since expanded into fields like healthcare, education, tourism, and e-commerce. With recent advancements in both hardware and software, the performance of VR systems has improved significantly while costs have dropped, making these technologies more accessible to the general public.
The growth of the VR industry also brings about broader economic impacts. The VR supply chain is extensive, involving hardware development, core chip production, software design, and application integration across multiple sectors. Moreover, it can give rise to a new service industry centered around virtual experiences, further driving innovation and job creation.
Zhao Qinping emphasized that while VR is an emerging field with great potential, its sustainable development relies not only on technological progress but also on the availability of skilled professionals. In recent years, many investment firms have shown strong interest in the VR market, particularly in 2016, which marked the beginning of the industry’s rapid expansion. However, challenges remain.
One major issue is the shortage of qualified talent, which has become a key obstacle to growth. Additionally, there is a need for continuous innovation in technology and content to ensure long-term sustainability. Without ongoing research and development, the industry risks stagnation.
To address these challenges, the competition was organized with the goal of encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship. By bringing together startups, researchers, and investors, the event aims to foster a vibrant ecosystem where new ideas can thrive. It also provides a platform for venture capital to discover promising VR projects, cutting-edge technologies, and talented individuals. Ultimately, this initiative is expected to accelerate the development of the VR industry and position it as a key driver of future technological progress.
An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light.
Reflective prisms are used to reflect light, in order to flip, invert, rotate, deviate or displace the light beam. They are typically used to erect the image in binoculars or single-lens reflex cameras – without the prisms the image would be upside down for the user. Many reflective prisms use total internal reflection to achieve high reflectivity.
The most common reflective prisms are:
Porro prism
Porro–Abbe prism
Amici roof prism
Pentaprism and roof pentaprism
Abbe–Koenig prism
Schmidt–Pechan prism
Bauernfeind prism
Dove prism
Retroreflector prism
Beam-splitting prisms
Some reflective prisms are used for splitting a beam into two or more beams:
Beam splitter cube
Dichroic prism
Half Penta Prism,Penta Prisms,Dove Prism,Optics Prism
