FOUNDER & CEO,
BEIJING XLOONG TECHNOLOGIES
CHINA
In 2015, Shi Xiaogang founded
augmented reality (AR) startup Xloong
in Beijing. The company uses technology
that superimposes virtual information on
real-world views to make consumer and
enterprise gear for various uses.
Xloong’s sports goggles assist cyclists
with AR-based digital maps, and its
Techlens T2 glasses enable remote
equipment maintenance by scanning
machines and sharing real-time video
feeds with engineers, who examine the
feeds and input responses. “I believe
AR will replace PCs and smartphones to
become the next computing platform,”
says Shi.
Aided by government grants, Xloong
is making AR glasses for Chinese police,
which are expected to ship later this
year. The gear, which look like ordinary
spectacles, can recognize faces and
cross-reference them with profiles
on China’s national ID databases
to identify potential suspects.
If there’s a match, a red alert
is projected onto an oicer’s
real-world view, helping to
make an arrest. “Our focus is
on security and surveillance,”
says Shi. “There are millions
of police in China, and our
product can help them track
potential suspects more
eiciently.” —Y.W.Industry,
