(Yicai Global) Aug. 12 -- Chinese telecoms equipment titan Huawei Technologies has revealed a new augmented and virtual reality services platform aimed at helping people better understand the world around them.

Dubbed Cyberverse, the service combines three-dimensional high-precision mapping, spatial computing and data to offer information to users, the Shenzhen-based firm said yesterday at the Huawei Developer Conference.

Huawei plans to roll out Cyberverse in five locations in first-tier cities this year, increasing to 1,000 by the end of 2020, said Manufacturing Consulting Director Luo Wei. It will offer the service at tourism attractions, airports, high-speed rail stations and commercial spaces, he added.
