His approach emphasizes sustainability by partnering with organizations that host the experiences and training local volunteers to run them.

Alongside his VR work, Amrinder develops new pipelines that integrate AI tools increasingly used in entertainment and gaming. These innovations improve quality while reducing costs, making advanced 3D and VR production more efficient. His work continues to bridge culture, education, and technology through immersive storytelling.
