VR SIKH PROJECTS
About The Founder
Amrinder Singh Jassar is a 3D artist, educator, and VR creator who has worked with real-time 3D tools since 2008. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and an Masters in Animation & VFX from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. His career spans commercials, feature films, animated shorts, and games, along with more than a decade of teaching undergraduate and graduate students since 2012.Amrinder’s 3D short “Sidekick” earned recognition with 12 awards, and his second film, “Dino Hunt,” is currently in production. In the studio and the classroom, he brings together technical rigor and clear storytelling, working across modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, look-dev, and real-time pipelines in tools such as Unreal Engine and Autodesk Maya.
In recent years, Amrinder has focused his practice on Sikh history through immersive virtual reality. Under VR Sikh Projects, he designs experiences that let audiences witness historic events rather than simply watch them. After building the first project and seeing the response from the community, he committed his skills to serving the Sikh sangat through accessible, high-quality Virtual Reality.
His goal is simple and practical: keep the experience free for visitors, while making it financially sustainable for gurdwaras. VR Sikh Projects partners with gurdwaras that can fund and host the setup, which then serves the broader community year-round, including students in Khalsa schools. To ensure continuity, the team trains local sevadaars to operate and maintain the experience so it can run regularly without outside staffing.
Amrinder continues to create new historical episodes, refine performance for comfortable VR, and mentor the next generation of artists. His work sits at the intersection of culture, education, and technology, using virtual reality to preserve memory and deepen understanding.
