In March this year, Hammer Technology announced the VR team recruitment information for the first time on the official Weibo account. From July to September, officials will repeat the recruitment of VR once every month. Originally thought that Luo is a big move, ready to give everyone a surprise. However, at the new press conference for the hammer No. 20, for VR, Lao Luo did not mention anything, which was contrary to their propaganda after a while. Recently, it was reported that Luo Xixiong, the head of Hammer Technology VR, had left and established his own company.
On the national enterprise publicity platform, Lo Chi-hung can be enrolled in a company named Beijing Sci-Tech Information Technology. The registration date is August 15, 2016. According to information on a recruitment website, SciTech focuses on the VR/AR industry and has completed angel round financing.
According to the news circulating on the Internet, Hammer said through Sina Technology that Luo Zixiong’s move was a spin-off of the internal incubation business, with the main purpose of facilitating independent external financing. Luo Sixiong, head of the Hammer Technology VR team, and Beijing Sisi Information Technology Co., Ltd., a newly formed and registered hammer technology employee, have already completed the angel round of financing. Hammer Technology is also a major shareholder.
For the hammer technology move, it is not difficult to see that they are also aware of a dilemma in the development of mobile VR. For hammers that don't even work well with mobile phones, the difficulty of doing VR can be imagined. Now that the hammer is splitting the VR business out, no matter how authentic it is, it can be seen that the old Luo also understands that maybe the development of VR out of a hammer phone would be better.
