he software has shown us the potential to work in almost every sector that exists.

IT sector in recent times has gone far ahead of what we can even imagine. Robotics technology is in its development stage where we can experience some prototypes in the market which follow the basic commands. In science fiction (SciFi) movies, we always get surprised by the visuals they showcase their imagination. Now, those illusionary technologies are coming into existence. All credit goes to our researchers and scientists who are working on such a futuristic piece of technology that could shape our future in a better manner.

Augmented Reality (AR) was initially developed in the early 1990s, starting with the virtual fixtures system developed at the US Air Force’s Laboratory in 1992. The commercial introduction of Augmented Reality was introduced first in the entertainment and e-sports/e-games business.

Subsequently, AR applications have expanded to the education, medical, and communication industries as well. The main value of augmented reality is ‘how the components of the digital world are mixed with human perception in the real

world through the integration of immersive sensations that act as a natural part of the observation, rather than as a simple display of data is.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be almost similar to the real-world.

We have at least once tried the VR box for cell-phone, where we are able to experience 3D visuals. Virtual reality is mainly popular in the entertainment, medical, infrastructure, gaming, and education sectors. Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multiprojected environments to generate realistic images, sounds, and other sensations that simulate a user’s physical presence in a virtual environment.

the leader board of future technology.

In our latest edition of “The 10 Best Leaders in AR and VR Industry 2022” on the cover page, we have Mr Yokeshwar, CEO of GOZO Virtual Experiences. It is one of the finest companies in India that have the vision to revolutionize the e-gaming industry.

SwiftNLift focuses on spot-lighting firms and startups that contribute to shaping lives better with their intention to make our society a better place. It was a collective effort made by our team to bring this edition. As the Chief Editor, I am grateful to have you as our reader. I hope you enjoy reading this piece of our efforts. We have other sections filled with trusted and resourceful knowledge & information to garner your reading habit.

Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality combined can achieve milestones if integrated appropriately. Currently, in India, we see the implementation of VR setup in driving schools, military training, the construction industry, and the medical industry. India is witnessing several startups registering in this field as every young entrepreneur is keen to get on

Gozo Gozo Virtual Virtual Experiences Experiences

Gozo Virtual Experiences India’s gaming market has shifted from coin-operated arcade games like “Tekken” in the arcade to gadgets like Nintendo, followed worldwide by PlayStation and Xbox. Online games have become an important part of the entertainment, and are becoming increasingly popular in India as the number of online gamers has increased a lot. According to the KPMG report, the number of online gamers in India increased from 250 million in 2018 to 400 million by mid-2020. The industry has grown tremendously over the past five years and is expected to triple in value. Reach $3.9 billion by 2025. More than 50% of India’s population is under 25 years old and 60% of domestic players are under 25 years old.

One of the main macroeconomic factors of this growth is the development of technological production infrastructure. In 2016, the launch of 4G services by employees guaranteed everyone high-speed internet and data at a lower cost. Furthermore, demonetization has led to the rapid development of digital payment infrastructure. The country has seen an increase in access to devices, including smartphones that are cheaper and equipped with more powerful devices to run games, giving the public access to the activity to play well.

Sir, how did you get the idea of creating a company that will provide virtual experience for entertainment as well as help improve brands?

I have always been passionate about gaming as I spent most of my childhood playing video games so, I always wanted my first business to be something related to gaming. When it comes to video games, there is always this saying that it takes away physical activity. My vision was to change that and mix physical activity with video games and that was the vision behind starting Gozo Virtual Experiences.

What were the challenges in front of you while establishing Gozo?

AR and VR are still very new concepts and at the time of starting it was nearly unknown to the common public, the major challenge for us was to make people understand our

technology and make them enjoy the experience.

Being a Gaming Cafe, getting a prime location plays a vital role in the success of the business; so finding a location that suits us was also a very big challenge for us.

What is your company’s Vision & Goals?

Gozo’s vision has always been to encourage innovation and provide experiences to people that they would remember for a long time. Either be it getting inside a boxing ring and punching your heart out or getting inside a sports car and feeling the thrill of the race. We aim to provide experiences that many think it is not possible, they can never experience it in their real life so we want to give them the happiness of experiencing it through our virtual experiences.

What have you developed to date?

We have several innovative experiences such as : VR Car: Real-life-size car with real steering and pedals.

VR Boxing: Boxing Game where you need to punch in order to win the game.

VR Shooting: Zombie shooting game where you face a horde of zombies coming out and you shoot your way out of it VR Roller Coaster: For all the thrill-seekers now they can enjoy it whenever they want with our roller coaster experience Horror Mystery Room: For all the horror fans out there, experience the thrill of escaping the darkness by solving puzzles.

How are you looking forward to the e-gaming industry and VR mixture?

It’s a very exciting time for the e-gaming industry as the advancement in technologies has made VR and AR to be more accessible to the public. There are openings for a lot of new innovative gaming experiences which would be more interactive and immersive than ever before.

We saw the Future Dining Experience section on your website.

How did you think of such an amazing concept?

The idea behind the future dining experience was to improve the user engagement while they are waiting for their order to arrive, as well as provide businesses a USP to increase their revenue and attract more customers. With this, the businesses can share their story uniquely and reach their customers.

What kind of growth potential did you see in the AI & VR technology together?

AI and VR technology has improved a lot in recent years and are revolutionizing almost all major industries. Personally, I feel like the two main industries which will have a major impact are Education and Healthcare. With AI & VR together education can become intuitive and accessible to a wider range of people. In case of the healthcare industry, AI & VR will help doctors to perform virtual surgeries which could save lives and make a huge impact on the world.

How will you describe your academic life?

What were your goals and ambition at that time?

My academic life was like any other Indian kid, I’m a huge fan of cricket as most of us are and spent most of my school days playing cricket on the streets. I have always been curious about technology and I used to explore a lot during my college days and that’s the reason I did my UG in B.Tech. I always wanted to

bring ideas to life and hence I started to learn about Entrepreneurship and business thinking when I was doing my college. My goal at that time was to start my own company before turning 25 and fortunately, I was able to do that.

Covid19 has affected many companies around, what did you face in that period? What kind of solutions do you implement to survive?

Covid19 has been a huge issue for almost everyone and it’s the same for us.

We had to close our Cafe completely for close to 6 months due to lockdown. We had to take measures to cut down our expenses and losses. We also needed to expand our social reach and post content on our social pages to make people engaged with our brand and be ready to provide new experiences to the people once they were back.

How are you planning to expand your business and technology?

We are planning to expand our business through the franchising model and are already in talks with a couple of interested investors. But due to covid19, it’s been hard for everyone and hence the expansion plan is moving more slowly than expected. With respect to technology, we are doing our initial research of bringing MR (Mixed reality) which would bring the most immersive gaming experience for people of all ages..

There are reports where it states that Skilled individuals are the requirement of the market. What will be your words for the upcoming young talent in the IT field?

With Covid19 forcing us to change the way we work, there are plenty of opportunities in the market right

now and with the right talent and knowledge, anyone can be successful in the field. I would recommend anyone who wants to get into the IT field, understand how customers think and how business works instead of focusing only on the tech. Because we need to think about the customers and understanding how the product we build adds value to them and that’s very important to make an impact in the vastly crowded industry.

Providing innovative solutions for B2B sector in extended reality

hya innovation is formed upon providing a technological solution for the B2B sector specializing in extended reality as a core product. Dhya Innovations uses advanced technologies to provide innovative solutions for your business enhancement. Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience.

Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power.

Virtual Reality’s most immediately recognizable component is the head-mounted display (HMD).

Human beings are visual creatures, and display technology is often the single biggest difference between immersive Virtual Reality systems and traditional user interfaces. For instance, CAVE 18

automatic virtual environments actively display virtual content onto room-sized screens. While they are fun for people in universities and big labs, consumer and industrial wearables are the wild west.

Augmented reality (AR) is one of the biggest technology trends right now, and it’s only going to get bigger as AR-ready smartphones and other devices become more accessible around the world.

AR let us see the real-life environment right in front of us—trees swaying in the park, dogs chasing balls, kids playing soccer—with a digital augmentation overlaid on it. For example, a pterodactyl might be seen landing in the trees, the dogs could be mingling with their cartoon counterparts, and the kids could be seen kicking past an alien spacecraft on their way to score a goal.

Extended reality (XR) is a term referring to all realand-virtual combined environments and humanmachine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables, where the ‘X’ represents a variable for any current or future spatial computing technologies.

Why AI supremacy?

Introduction

Who’s in the race?

Artificial Intelligence or we can say AI, has been a key ingredient for many technological advancements.

We barely see any industry or sector that has not implemented AI systems to boost their field’s performance. The engineers are extensively working on artificial intelligence to improve its performance level. If we scroll down some top websites, we can have pop-up messages from chatbots. Those chatbots send a auto-generated message when you visit for the first time on that websites. That is a small piece of AI.

At the current point, the world’s two biggest economies are betting on AI technology that could lead them ahead in the digital world. The USA & China have a strong presence in the technology market even though, in terms of research & development, other countries are leading like Japan, Germany, and Taiwan.

We will be having a discussion on AI & its efficiency to solve human and human-generated problems in this article, taking into consideration its political angles.

set by them.

China has shown its aggression in border areas with its border-sharing countries, including India, South Korea, Taiwan & even Russia. And even it had played Before drilling deep into this AI supremacy topic, the debt card to seal the land of Africa and some we must have at least some knowledge on geopolitics European continents. No surprises here, why China that is triggering it. Electricity was the revolutionary is aggressive in developing its AI technology. element of human life that gave wings to development. According to reports, China has set a target to become Now, we have AI in place that holds the power of an AI leader by 2030. The orders from the Chinese revolution.

has been developing technologies for decades and Technological advancements are necessary for took the privilege of having the most developed tech human growth. AI has already shown its ability in the in hand. education, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors.

AI supremacy with an aggressive mind-set has no positive future for the world.

Who is gaining?

AI was under development for multiple reasons.

Human development was not at the priority. If it was, then we might not have witnessed some technological threats that we are about to witness in a short period. India has witnessed China’s aggression, and even African nations got the idea of the China & AI expansion plan.

India, the largest exporter of software, could be the next competitor in this race that has the potential to make a strong presence in the AI industry. Healthy competition always strives for the best out of it. The current trade war between the USA & China has not been beneficial for any economy in the world at large.

It has created some opportunities. However, that will not even last for a long time.

China has a clear vision to gain the top position by replacing the USA as the strongest economic power in the world. And will do anything that could help them reach their specified target. AI development is even utilised by powerful nations to dominate the developing & emerging economies. Developing economies are getting the least amount of benefit from it.

Political leaders must understand the situation and start working on technological advancements that will protect them from consequences that are on the verge to happen. As cyber-warfare is in the hands of technology dominant nations, like the USA & China no one has the security to trust on the tech part completely.
