oftwares have 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 imaginative 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 possibly 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 first introduced 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 phones where we were able to experience 3D visuals. Virtual Reality is mainly popular in the entertainment, medical, infrastructure, gaming industry, and education sector.

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.

Augmented reality & Virtual reality combined can achieve milestones if integrated appropriately. Currently, in India, we could see the implementation of VR setup in driving schools, military training, construction industry, and medical industry. India is witnessing several startups registering in this field as

every young entrepreneur is keen to get on the leader board of future technology.

In our edition of “The Most Innovative AR-VR Startups in India 2021” on the cover story, we have Mr. Suresh Thankavel, Founder of AUGRAY one of the leading enterprises in ARVR technology in India. AUGRAY serves around the globe with a strong presence in every industry. It has expertise in Sports, Enterprise, Marketing, Commerce, etc.

SwiftNLift is focusing to put a light on the firms and startups which are contributing to making lives better with their intention to make our society a better place. It is always a pleasure for me as a Chief Editor to represent you with the fresh and engaging content to read. It was a collective effort made by our team to bring you this edition. Hope you enjoy reading this piece of our effort. We have other sections too, filled with trusted and resourceful knowledge & information to garner your reading habit.

Augray’s vision is to provide AR / VR/ MR platform applications

Would you tell us about AUGRAY (Vision and Mission)?

As the saying goes, Tell me ‘I will forget” (Radios/ audio reach) Show me “I might remember” (TV, Digital, etc) Involve me “I will understand” (XR technology) We were looking for a technology XR and were convinced this would disrupt.

Augray aims to enable brands in providing immersive experiences to their customers for effective communication.

The versatility of AR/VR being easy to adapt on any device empowers customers with valuable visual experiences. Augray provides this amicable medium to consume information like never before!

How do you stay on top of changes in the process, changes in thought of industries that you are going to look at more now?

Suresh Thankavel Founder

With over 7+ years of R&D evolved from a 2G network and smartphones to the current technology and infrastructure scenario, we have learned a lot. With the wisdom of learning, we have been constantly improving our 3 prong approach that is needed to deliver a successful ROI on XR investment. Those

All 3 are essential and interconnected Why choose AUGRAY? for the successful adoption of XR technology.

We have created a process to use XR in all customer Augray has constantly been innovating and touchpoints creating the most essential attention- providing solutions to brands.

AR is always the vertical, quick turnarounds and at a cost to engage stardom of Augray. small and expand.

While looking at the overall processes, What Inspires AUGRAY to use AR what might be the hindrance for the technology in the sales sector of other better outcome ? companies?

XR is a proven technology in yielding results and we have proven repeatedly by yielding returns in 10 folds from Fortune 100 companies to SMEs. From our experience, it's not about having the XR solution (experience) alone that produces the magic,it is also about the execution and varied contents. If the marketing efforts are not done right, the campaign will not yield results. If the content is not tailored to the audience, it will not work either. The result also depends on the execution (marketing, education, or demonstration) and consumer-specific contents. We at Augray educate our customers on all these 3 important parts and provide the knowledge of the product/ technology aspects, content and execution

Being a technology agnostic, we would be able to tailor our product offerings for a waste market segment. This made us focus on creating AR technology for a wider audience (sales). Today, we have product offerings tailored for all key aspects of sales & marketing in creating awareness, reducing the consideration

you started AUGRAY ?

Augray was born in the early stages of 2G technology during the year 2013, where there was scarce research and less data about Augmented Reality.

Technology (hardware), infrastructure (internet bandwidth) and lack of engineering talents for AR/VR. Also, the lack of awareness about AR technology for business adoption were some of the hurdles.

How does AUGRAY work on making the industry better? What can be expected from AUGRAY in the upcoming years?

Explain the AUGRAY – Founder/ CEO’s journey to date, and how AUGRAY tackled any initial struggles?

What if you can interact and be a part of the 3D characters in the picture book? What if you become a part of the scene, and their friends’ list and hang out wherever they go?

Asking these questions made him intrigued and excited with his imagination, and this led me to file a patent for the technology of Characters coming to life in the books.Suresh Thankavel, CEO of AugRay. A substantial amount of research and development by the team led to finding the possibility and foreseeing the future of this technology. Then came the time Augray was founded in 2014, the entity is especially focused on Augmented and Virtual reality along with the implementation of extended reality, focused on Sales & Marketing enablement.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by humans or animals.

Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of “intelligent agents”: any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.

As those machines become increasingly capable, task considered to require “intelligence” are often removed from the definition of AI, a phenomenon known as the AI effect. For instance, optical character recognition is frequently excluded from things considered to be AI, having become a routine technology.

An AI application currently exists in multiple fields in basic or advanced stage. We have daily encounter with such AI programs such as Web search engines i.e.

The VR & AI Convergence: What the future holds?

Technology is the key to solve the problems in this fast changing world. We are surrounded by technology and rely on it for almost every task we perform.

Whether it is about reading, communicating, learning or performing any other task; we almost rely on technological device. The funniest part is that, you are currently reading this article on a desktop, laptop, tablet or cell phone.

Technology has changed our lifestyle and our needs as well. If we are hungry we can place an order through an application it will deliver food at our doorstep, if we want to educate our self we can register for online course and learn from home. But these are just basic software functions we currently have. Developers and scientists are focusing on future and have planned to combine VR and AI to introduce a new piece of

26

technology.

We came a long way back from 2000 when we used to have different device for each task and now we have just one mobile phone which performs almost every task we expect. But, that’s not all, now we are witnessing drastic improvement and innovation in the technological advancements being made.

Era of Blending We the humans have inculcated a habit of mixing two or more elements together to get better results.

Same is going with Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. These technological arms have the potential to solve almost every problem of mankind.

National and International E-sports events are being organized and participated mainly by the young crowd which tells us that how big it is.

It will be crucial to watch, as the technology in this field grows.
