News N. Korean media shows Chinese VR headsets made with South Korean, UK partsExports would have breached sanctions if they happened after December 22 last year
A North Korean monthly periodical published in March shows students holding relatively cutting edge and expensive virtual reality (VR) headsets made from South Korean and UK components. In a possible breach of UN resolutions, the magazine – called Pictorial Korea – shows two students holding the devices in a section promoting the North’s use of technology in education. The students are holding the VR devices that show a logo and distinctive design features, indicating they were made by the Shanghai-based DPVR, one of the country’s leading VR technology manufacturers. © Korea Risk Group.
