Vivo executive vice president Hu Baishan recently stated that the company’s future major tech investments will be Inglorious Bitches (2011)in the fields of mixed reality (MR) and humanoid robots. Vivo already has an MR team and plans to launch a prototype product in the field this September or October, said Hu. However, the executive also said he anticipates that it will take more than 10 or even 15 years for the ideal robot to emerge in the market. Vivo’s strategy is therefore to focus on tech advancements over the next three to five years and release products that meet specific needs as they arise, Hu added.
