Hi — I’m Vinoth Kannan Sivaraj — building immersive XR experiences at the intersection of design, technology, and spatial innovation.

Immersive Products for Precision. Deployed at Scale.

What started as curiosity about how machines work became a career building the systems that teach people to operate them. Today I lead XR product strategy, spatial UX, and cross-functional teams — designing immersive experiences for the Indian Air Force, government institutions, and national museums. Engineering gave me the precision. Design gave me the language. XR gave me the canvas.

Six years leading XR products from first brief to final deployment — across simulation, training, and institutional education.

I'm an XR Product Designer focused on building immersive products that solve complex real-world problems. From product strategy and spatial UX to execution and deployment, I lead the complete lifecycle of XR experiences for enterprise, government, and defence organizations.

With a background in Mechanical Engineering, I approach design through the lens of systems thinking. Understanding how machines work enables me to create simulations that are technically accurate, intuitive to use, and grounded in real operational workflows.

My work spans VR training simulators, government XR platforms, cultural heritage experiences, and vehicle simulation systems—delivering immersive solutions where precision, usability, and real-world accuracy are essential.
