Why this?

I have spent past 8 years working globally- Hong Kong, Taiwan, Netherlands- in deep learning computer vision field. Recently, I founded Augmented Perception, a Brain-VR Interface startup (in-process), where we envision to use the technology to raise the human perception using AI, Psychology and Philosophy. It is in the intersection of Spirituality and Technology. Spirituality is something that happens within, but for some it has gotten a very distorted meaning. Spirituality is about knowing who we are- only if we know who we are, we take the right decisions in our lives. It is about knowing Self or Truth through the path of Yoga. There are four paths in Yoga (Yoga means union of you and the universe)- Karma Yoga (yoga of action and selfless service), Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion), Jnana Yoga (yoga of intellect), and Kriya Yoga (yoga of meditation). There has been many renowned literatures about self-knowing, a few of them are- Autobiography of a Yogi, Enlightenment: A New Beginning, The Principles of Psychology, The Power of Now, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Yoga of Knowledge etc. This is the initiative which is inspired by the work of my Guru (Sadhguru) and Sages, who work towards raising the consciousness of the planet and bringing self-knowing in each individual’s lives. This technology, Brain-VR Interface, is where the path of intellect meets the path of meditation. Path of intellect asserts that our ego-based ignorance keeps us from knowing our true nature. Using the techniques of logic and reason, we can use the mind to inquire into its own nature. This removes the veils of ignorance. But an undisciplined mind which only inquires is prone to restlessness, it generates continuous thoughts without the necessary calmness and this is where the path of meditation comes into picture. This technology simulates personalized life’s experiences and make one inquire his/her own mind and know the right connections between and among the things in his/her life using awareness techniques for a calm mind. This technology will make sure the right connections are told by the end of each experience to maintain the focus. I have always been interested in knowing how the brain works. Along with reading books, papers, and articles, I stepped into knowing myself by following my Guru’s meditation practices and connecting the dots of life's all experiences - as his teachings emphasize on experiencing the life in its fullest. It is funny that what we think is the reason for something is not actually the reason - until you inquire more and more, but it can be a less to negligible inquiry once we develop the right discernment. This device is inspired from my Guru's idea of experiencing life and it is meant to enrich one's path of self-discovery, it will work alongside Yoga, meditation or any other self-transformative tool — as an addition, not a substitute.

Raising human perception or self-knowing is the only way to reduce all the worldly and personal conflicts. This technology will hasten the life's experiences, having as many experiences as needed to break our compulsive patterns of this life, which keep us limited. This limited nature and compulsive nature of ourselves is what is leading to high depression rates in the whole world.
