Ogmento was founded in 2009 by industry veterans committed toIn 2009, we believe we had viewed the future of gaming – and it was no longer on the living room couch. Mobile devices were bringing games to everyone, everwhere, and at anytime, and we wanted to be part of it in a big way. So we launched Ogmento, and our approach was to create location based, augmented reality games that pushed the boundaries of what a game can do on mobile. It means Ogmento creates games that interact with the real world. That not only does it matter where you are, but what you are interacting with around you. Our games turn your neighborhoods into battlegrounds, your parks into arenas, and that guy standing next to you into a three headed monster who wants to chew on your face.

Making Virtual Solid (MVS California) Our breakthrough was accomplished by applying our knowledge of several seemingly-disconnected areas of engineering to produce a new and powerful technology. Chris Grabowski and Tom Zamojdo have been engaged in car navigation projects for more than eleven years. The Virtual Cable™ was conceived in 2001 when they realized that a GPS-enabled Heads-Up-Display could be far more effective when reduced to just a single line, but only if such line was displayed in true volumetric 3D. Applying Chris’s knowledge of advanced laser optics and Tom’s knowledge of real-time computer software, they developed a commercially feasible design for a 3D HUDs. Chris and Tom reside in San Francisco.
