Li Jie, in charge of VR business with China's popular video site Youku Tudou, said films would be the last wave of VR entertainment and it may take five years before VR films emerge in China. He believes science fiction will be the biggest beneficiary of VR, as clips with a space theme attract most clicks, along with webcasts of dance, on the site's VR channel.

"We'll be watching VR this year, but it's too early to come to a conclusion. We should be open to new technology, as technology has always led revolutions in the film industry," said Rao Shuguang, secretary-general of the China Film Association.
