I work at Mozilla VR on A-Frame (https://aframe.io https://aframe.io). I talked to the Alibaba VR team in Hangzhou, and the top VR real estate project (iStaging). They are obviously interested in eCommerce given TaoBao. I don't think Buy Plus went super well given it was targeting Cardboard. But they have stuff cooking with Vive and Magic Leap. Unfortunately, VR eCommerce is a hard problem. It's shiny-sounding, but it's difficult to provide actual value to consumers that isn't just hype. And also VR hasn't entered mainstream China at all, not even for developers, so adoption is an issue. No one has space, and the VR cafes only attract super gamers. iStaging created their WebVR viewer with A-Frame: https://aframe.io/blog/istaging/...this https://aframe.io/blog/istaging/...this seems to be doing well given Cardboard is enough for this use case. 360 photos aren't really a compelling experience, but sufficient allowing clients to at least get a tiny feel for the place. But the articles about VR becoming "big" in China, I am not sure about given visits there over the last couple years.
