IQIYI, a major player in the Chinese streaming service industry, is not satisfied with just being a leader in the market. They’re fully embracing the world of VR experiences and pushing boundaries.
The entertainment industry is going through a significant transformation, and VR technology is playing a crucial role in this evolution. It’s no longer seen as a mere novelty; instead, it’s changing the way we create and consume stories.
While platforms like Netflix are also exploring VR content, IQIYI is taking it a step further. They have set their sights on bringing their innovative VR experiences to audiences worldwide.
IQIYI has big plans for their VR attractions, including expanding beyond China to cities like Dubai and Bangkok. This strategic move demonstrates their commitment to using advanced technology to turn popular franchises into unforgettable location-based entertainment (LBE) experiences.
“We believe that VR technology has immense potential in enhancing storytelling and creating unique entertainment experiences. Through our VR attractions, we aim to transport audiences into immersive worlds where they can become part of the narrative.” – IQIYI spokesperson
What sets IQIYI apart is their ability to combine artistic creativity with the immersive capabilities of VR technology. By doing so, they are able to deliver truly captivating experiences that engage multiple senses and blur the line between fiction and reality.
For instance, similar to how Belfast City Council funds immersive tech tourism initiatives, IQIYI is actively exploring avenues beyond traditional media consumption. Moreover, taking inspiration from Area15’s ‘The Lab’ launch, they’re constantly striving to create groundbreaking VR attractions that leave a lasting impact.
“Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional entertainment and emerging technologies. We want to provide viewers with an entirely new way of enjoying their favorite content.” – Creative director at IQIYI
In line with their vision, IQIYI aims to bring their VR experiences to cities around the globe. Just as Space Explorers: The Infinite has successfully captivated audiences, IQIYI intends to create immersive worlds that transport people into extraordinary narratives. With their innovative approach and commitment to excellence, IQIYI is paving the way for a future where entertainment knows no bounds.
Virtual reality is no longer just a buzzword. It’s a revolution that’s changing the way we experience entertainment. Immersive VR experiences have completely captured people’s attention, allowing them to explore incredible worlds like never before. This surge in popularity is driven by the endless opportunities that VR offers for storytelling and interaction.
One key factor in this transformation is the emergence of location-based entertainment (LBE). By placing users in elaborate, interactive environments, LBE takes VR storytelling to a whole new level. Instead of passively watching, you can now actively participate in the experience.
Imagine yourself walking through the bustling streets of a futuristic city or uncovering ancient secrets in a virtual archaeological dig. These experiences are not just about visuals; they’re about fully immersing yourself in another world.
IQIYI, one of China’s leading online streaming platforms, has taken this concept even further by combining their original series with state-of-the-art VR technology. Just think about it: your beloved characters and captivating storylines brought to life in an immersive setting. This fusion of content and tech creates something truly special that stands out in today’s crowded streaming market.
What makes IQIYI’s VR experiences truly stand out are the theatrical elements they incorporate into their productions. Every aspect, from meticulously designed sets reminiscent of a theater stage to sensory effects like wind and water, is carefully crafted to draw you deeper into the story. It’s no longer a passive viewing experience; it becomes an active journey.
“The combination of theatre and VR allows us to bring our audience into the story as if they were part of it, creating a more engaging and memorable experience.” – IQIYI representative

IQIYI isn’t just dreaming of global dominance; they’re planning a VR revolution. Their strategy? Bringing immersive experiences rooted in Chinese culture to the international stage. This isn’t about putting on a headset and being done with it. It’s about turning local legends and popular original creations into virtual masterpieces.
Picture yourself stepping into an ancient Chinese fable, where every aspect, from the buildings to the background sounds, is carefully designed. IQIYI stands apart by incorporating cultural elements into their work. These aren’t just VR experiences; they are journeys that deeply connect with people on a cultural level. This unique combination could carve out a special spot that’s different from what Western platforms offer.
Netflix tried out VR with the Army of the Dead themed Viva Las Vengeance. But IQIYI is going all in, using their extensive collection of original creations to build something extraordinary. While Netflix is focusing on specific locations in the United States, IQIYI has bigger plans that span across countries—from Dubai to Bangkok.
IQIYI’s vision isn’t just ambitious; it’s game-changing. By blending state-of-the-art technology with profound cultural stories, they’re not just growing—they’re redefining how VR is done on a global scale.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Peter Drucker
Next time you think of VR, think beyond the usual alien battles or mystical adventures. Imagine entering a vivid world that shares an age-old tale yet feels completely new—thanks to IQIYI’s innovative approach. For instance, you could even relive the construction of the Eiffel Tower with VR at the base of the Eiffel Tower itself or indulge in the UK’s biggest immersive VR experience launching in Birmingham.
iQIYI’s innovative technology content LBE is setting new benchmarks in the world of immersive VR. Transforming traditional storytelling into multisensory adventures, iQIYI leverages cutting-edge tech to elevate its VR experiences.
The future of VR entertainment looks bright, thanks to constant technological advancements. iQIYI’s VR experiences feature realistic sets, special effects, interactive gameplay, and sensory elements like wind and water effects, creating a world where reality and fiction blend seamlessly.
Imagine entering a world where you can not only hear but also feel every breeze and water droplet. These innovative ideas are pushing the limits of immersive storytelling. With AI-driven avatars, better touch feedback, and surround sound coming soon, VR will evolve from a passive activity to an active and engaging experience.
The global stage awaits, and IQIYI is ready to steal the spotlight. Want to see what all the buzz is about?
