Chinese AR start-up develops smart glasses to help police catch suspects.

Using a pair of glasses to detect and locate criminals might sound like a futuristic scene from a Hollywood film, but it has already become a reality in China.

Xloong, meaning “fierce dragon” in Chinese, was founded in Beijing by former Huawei Technologies hardware engineer Shi Xiaogang. The start-up currently employs more than 100 people and counts internet of things firm Hefei BOE Technology, Gobi Ventures, Beijing Institute of Technology, and some provincial governments as financial backers, having raised hundreds of millions of yuan from them.

China spent US$184 billion on domestic security in 2017, less than the US$150 billion it spent on external defence, according to China’s Ministry of Finance.
