In 2017, while creating music, Ajit Padmanabh had a dream of music devotees accumulated outside, wearing Head-Mounted Devices (HMDs), and swaying their heads to incredible music. This was network ongoing interaction – something he had conceptualized as a phase arrangement for his music shows.

He took this thought and formed it to make a vivid encounter to return to our way of life and legacy. In 2018, he began Who VR, a patent-forthcoming, spearheading VR/AR startup out of Bengaluru, with an attention on advanced legacy.

“Who VR has a more profound reason for safeguarding our legacy, not just from effects like the landmarks’ engineering (and the science behind it), yet additionally to give a profound encounter into the intangibles – from the different collections of information that our seniors composed and changing over it into vivid visuals, spatial sound, or episodic stories,” Ajit, who has been a Product Manager for any semblance of Infosys, and is likewise an artist, tells YourStory.
