Prasanth Sasikumar

I build things people wear on their face. Founder of FlowsXR, currently obsessed with Sidekick, an AI assistant that guides field technicians through smart glasses in real time. Before startup life: XR researcher at NUS (VR motion sickness, with Meta), PhD under Mark Billinghurst, papers at CHI, IEEE VR, and ISMAR. Happy to talk shop about any of that, but if you really want my attention, bring up cars or motorcycles.
