Three newly developed chips by China were introduced at the 2025 Spatial Computing Summit in Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province.
The three new chips mark important progress for the country in the development of spatial computing.
Spatial computing refers to technologies that utilize spatial data and algorithms to process and analyze information in three-dimensional environments. These technologies enable users to better "explore the world" through extended reality (XR) devices, robots, intelligent vehicles, virtual assistants, and more.
Cui Ping, Director of Yongjiang Laboratory, said that the core of this technology lies in empowering digital systems to "understand space." Through three key functions: environmental perception, virtual-real integration, and natural interaction, information is freed from the limitations of a small screen.
"This technology integrates seamlessly with the real-world environment, which surrounds us like air throughout physical space," Cui explained.
According to its developer, GravityXR Electronics and Technology Co. Ltd. (GravityXR), the flagship G-X100 chip is a high-performance processor for mixed reality (MR) devices. The company's key breakthrough lies in its ultra-low latency, which enables extremely fast response times.
That ability is crucial for reducing the “motion sickness”-like feelings that have long affected XR users.
Meanwhile, the G-VX100 stands out for its compact form factor. Small enough to fit into everyday eyeglass frames, the chip paves the way for lighter, more compact AI glasses and similar wearables, the company said.
The G-EB100 chip specializes in rendering and display. In addition to enhancing MR visual performance, it can also be applied in robotics, for example, enabling robots to display highly expressive facial animations with realistic expressions and eye movements.
The conference in Ningbo was hosted by the China Mobile Communications Association, while it was jointly organized by Yongjiang Laboratories and GravityXR.
Experts at the event said that with continuous advancements in core technologies, China's spatial computing industry is poised for rapid growth in the coming years.
