Chinese technology company Xiaomi has teamed up with VR (Virtual Reality) content provider Jaunt China.

According to the memorandum, Jaunt China will develop an app for Xiaomi's VR headset, which was launched in late October.

The companies will cooperate in technology and marketing. Jaunt is a US company engaged in VR video shooting, editing, and distribution, state-run Xinhua news agency said.

The company launched Jaunt China this year with Shanghai Media Group and China Media Capital.

"Xiaomi expects more high-quality VR videos produced by Jaunt on our platform", said Tang Mu, general manager of Xiaomi VR.

"The partnership with Xiaomi gives confidence," said Fang Gan, CEO of Jaunt China.
