China (Guangzhou) International Elderly Health Industry Exposition 2017 will be held during the Guangzhou Fair in a bid to promote public awareness of the importance of a healthy diet for the elderly and display the achievements already made in the elderly care industry.

"The most innovative exhibitions this year will be the ones with virtual reality (VR) facilities and technology," said Yang Yihang, director of Guangzhou Fair Organizing Committee Office. "Through this unique exhibition, we can inform the general public, using VR technology, of some emergency information such as how to escape safely if an earthquake strikes."

Yang also said that VR facilities provide a platform for game developers to launch their products and electronic sport players to get a taste of a brand new experience.
