The Next Frontier: Generative AI + VR + AR
By Shivam Kumar
Sometimes, it feels like the future is arriving faster than we can process it. One moment we’re talking about virtual reality and how it might improve training. The next, we’re layering that with real-time augmented reality, and now—suddenly—Generative AI is sitting at the same table, reshaping how everything gets built.
I’ve spent a good chunk of my time at Volga Infosys Private Limited, based in India, watching this evolution unfold from the inside. And honestly, we’ve only scratched the surface. The fusion of Generative AI with immersive tech like VR and AR? That’s not just an upgrade—it’s a whole new architecture.
Let me explain why.
Creating Virtual Worlds—Faster, Smarter, Cheaper
Traditionally, building a high-quality VR environment takes weeks, sometimes months. 3D artists sculpt every object, developers code interactions, and designers test every scene to make it feel “real.”
Now imagine you prompt an AI with: “Create a virtual factory floor with moving robotic arms, realistic shadows, and customizable user tasks.” And within minutes, it generates an environment that used to take an entire team weeks to assemble.
We’ve been experimenting with this workflow at Volga. Generative AI tools can now auto-generate 3D assets, create textures, write code snippets for Unity or Unreal Engine, and even simulate physics-based behaviors. It’s not perfect yet—but it’s accelerating development in a way that’s hard to ignore.
And it doesn’t just save time. It shifts the creative process. Developers aren’t locked into linear design anymore—they iterate faster, experiment more, and refine on the fly.
Personalization at Scale
Let’s say you're training 500 employees across 5 regions, each speaking a different language and working on slightly different versions of the same machinery.
With traditional VR, you'd need to build multiple versions—or at least hard-code complex branching logic.
But what if the experience could auto-adapt using Generative AI?
That’s what we’re working toward. AI-driven systems that can tailor content based on user roles, skill levels, and learning pace. Imagine AR glasses that not only guide a technician through a task but adjust instructions based on how confident or confused they seem—real-time responsiveness, rooted in data and behavior.
It’s still early. But it’s coming.
The Intelligence Layer
Here’s where things get more philosophical.
AR and VR are excellent at simulating environments. But they struggle with unpredictability. They can feel scripted.
Now, add an AI that understands language, adapts its tone, responds naturally, and even offers encouragement when users hesitate. Suddenly, your virtual trainer becomes a coach. A partner.
We’ve started testing generative chat agents inside VR modules—imagine a safety instructor who can answer your questions mid-scenario, or a museum guide who shares cultural anecdotes based on your curiosity.
It’s not just content delivery anymore. It’s dialogue. And it makes immersive experiences feel alive.
A Word of Caution
Now, I’d be lying if I said this was all smooth sailing. Generative AI has blind spots. Sometimes it gets things wrong—very wrong. And when those mistakes happen in a medical simulation or defense scenario, the stakes are too high.
That’s why, at Volga Infosys, we don’t see AI as a replacement. It’s a partner. A tool that helps our teams build better, not faster for the sake of speed.
We double-check outputs. We involve human reviewers. We maintain ethical boundaries. Because immersive tech is only as good as the responsibility behind it.
The Global Lens
As we prepare for the 2025 Go Global Awards in London this November—where Volga Infosys Private Limited is honored to be a nominee—we’re not just thinking about where technology is headed. We’re thinking about who gets to shape it.
This isn’t just an awards night. It’s a convergence of global minds, hosted by the International Trade Council. Innovators, educators, business leaders—everyone asking the hard questions: How do we build responsibly? Collaboratively? Inclusively?
We’re proud to be part of that dialogue. And as India’s digital landscape continues to lead in immersive tech, we’re eager to bring our voice—and listen to others—on this world stage.
Final Thought
Generative AI, AR, and VR aren’t just tools anymore. They’re ingredients in a new kind of creativity. The kind where machines enhance human imagination, not replace it.
It’s fast. It’s messy. It’s exciting. And it’s already changing how we train, learn, explore, and connect.
Are we ready for it? Maybe not fully. But we’re building anyway.
