I was formerly the COO and Co-Founder of Raptor Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. which was founded with a strong passion for creativity and innovation in 2001. My passion for games allowed me to see where my inputs matter and I ended up creating one of the pioneering game companies in India. I kept Raptor Entertainment as a flat organization with virtually no hierarchy, which allowed creativity to blossom and making us one of the only game development and simulation companies in this region. Under my operational leadership we were able to handle several simulation and game projects for General Motors, Tata Interactive, US Air-force (AWS), Indian Army, Caster racing and several other high-profile clients. My company was recently sold in 2009 and I’m currently the Chief of Interactive Technologies at Nexxoft Infotel limited, which is another emerging company in the 3D interactive space and Augmented reality. My ambitions are in the post-human realm and I wish to be able to enable machines to think and behave like us – which should make our future lifestyle more interesting.

Iron Man the Movie uses Augmented Reality (AR) as a part of the Jarvis vision system and demonstrates it pretty well. The system segregates the view into various objects it can recognize and overlays information on it. This is quite a futuristic view of what AR could do. This is how we could hypothetically achieve it.
