Inside a traditional Chinese house with stylish green bricks and black tiles in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, Nikk Mitchell and his team are pursuing their dreams in the virtual reality industry.

Mitchell, a Canadian, established FXG in June and now has a team of more than 30 employees from countries including China, Poland, Russia, the United States and Uganda.

"Hangzhou is a combination of modern and ancient styles; you can see art, history and culture everywhere. It inspires our VR development," he said.

The team is considering combining the art of calligraphy with VR technology.

Following his dream to discover the world, Mitchell arrived in China in 2006 at age 18. Six years later, he was amazed by a VR video he saw online, and decided that he wanted to work in the field. He started studying and found an online community of people who shared his interests.

Thanks to China's encouragement of innovation and entrepreneurship, Mitchell is seeing his VR dream turn into reality.

The company is located in Dream Town, Hangzhou's entrepreneurial cluster that offers free workspaces and other services such as financing and business advice.
