Yasas Sri Wickramasinghe: Breaking the Wall of Loneliness through Play

We are focused on using Augmented Reality (AR) to break the wall of loneliness and create meaningful connections through play. Existing technologies for connecting with others fall short in providing a sense of presence and meaningful interactions. We have developed a technology that fosters engagement, connection, and brings people and places together.
