Detailed Description

This project was done in Philips Innovation Campus, Bangalore, along with the Philips Design Team led by Abhimanyu Kulkarni, Design Manager-Director. The history of AR/VR begins with the first actual VR head-mounted display created by computer scientist Ivan Sutherland. But the technology stayed dormant until recent years with the development of the Oculus Rift and other pioneers of the modern era of AR/VR. With the HMD becoming more portable and infused with the benefits of mobile technology, new innovative ideas have started to come alive – mostly driven by our ideas of the future in various science fiction novels and literature. Currently the AR/VR industry has expanded enormously, spreading itself over various sectors, to name a few – advertising/marketing, art/design, health/fitness, entertainment, smart wearables, medical devices solutions/services, etc.
