Smartphone manufacturer HTC Corp has innovated a disparate range of products like the virtual reality (VR) devices. These devices will be the main focus of the company in the next 10 years, according to the company's CEO and co-founder Cher Wang.

When one uses a computer or a mobile phone, one is restricted to only images and sound. But with VR devices, one can get a more diverse and colourful experience in a wider horizon. This is why HTC's first VR device the HTC Vive was launched in December in Beijing. It can convey images and sounds to make the virtual world look real.

The handset was originally designed for educational, medical care and online gaming purposes. It was introduced first in the China High-Tech Fair in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, in November last year. The new technology attracted thousands of visitors.

Specialists told Cher when she visited Beijing that VR technology can be applied in diverse fields like education and surgery. Just imagine a patient seeing his arteries and blood cells with the assistance of a VR device. This should aid them to submit for surgery, Wang said.

She explained that VR technology can be utilized by apartment designers and car sellers too. Wang says that German carmaker Volkswagen Group Audi brand will set-up the HTC Vive in flagship stores in China in 2016. This will make customers see their cars in a different perspective.

There were also around 300 virtual reality start-up entrepreneurs, developers and engineers who wanted to know about VR technologies and the latest market trends.
