What 36 Technology does

36 Technology (36Tech) is a Hong Kong-headquartered VR/AR solutions provider founded in 2015, operating from three offices in Hong Kong (Wong Chuk Hang), Zhuhai, and Beijing with an 11-50 person team. The company serves five verticals — Education, Public & Community, Retailing, Enterprise, and Exhibitions — across Hong Kong and mainland China. Its offering combines distributed VR/AR hardware (HTC Vive, 3 Glasses, DPVR, Lenovo, ZOTAC, Insta360) with proprietary solutions including VR Showroom, VR Enterprise Application, AR Application, and the Veative STEM VR education curriculum.

The company's underlying technology centers on AR/VR integration and 360° immersive content development across mobile apps, head-mounted displays, and websites. As an official distributor for multiple major VR brands, 36Tech couples hardware resale with value-added services: consultation, custom content development, installation, and 24-hour on-site after-sales support. The Veative education packages (HKD $49,999 Basic with 8 Edupro devices; HKD $255,000 Advance with 40 devices and charging carts) bundle VR hardware, one-year licenses, and training into tiered offerings targeting STEM classrooms.

36Tech's revenue model blends hardware distribution (resale margin), project-based professional services (custom AR/VR development), event-driven equipment rentals (with on-site technicians), and education/training fees. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise outreach via phone and email, supplemented by event presence, SEO-optimized website content, and free introductory VR/AR courses launched February 7, 2020 as a top-of-funnel lead-generation channel. Pricing is custom-quoted by project; only the Veative education packages are publicly disclosed. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, parent-company ownership, or named enterprise customers are evidenced in available sources.
