Magnopus

Our mission at Magnopus has been to unite the physical and digital worlds with extraordinary experiences. Today marks a big step forward for us and anyone who wants to build a future where these cross-reality experiences are interoperable across devices and platforms. We’re open sourcing our Connected Spaces Platform. 🚀It’s now under the permissive Apache 2.0 free software license for any developer interested in more easily creating persistent, real-time spatial experiences connected across physical and digital, accessible across multiple platforms and devices. Our teams across the US and UK have worked on this technology for the past five years, at times with as many as 60 people. It’s been tested on public experiences and private betas with developers, it’s even been listed in TIME’s Best Inventions 2022. 🏆 Now, by going open source, we aim to contribute to the foundations for a more open and diverse spatial web that brings people together in shared experiences, and that communities can build on together. That’s what we’re truly excited about. Congratulations go out to the Magnopus team for their constant hard work on making this milestone happen. ❤️ Find out more here www.magnopus.com/csp

We've just heard the news that Sobibor AR - an immersive educational experience we created with the Holocaust Museum LA - has snagged not just one, but two Collision Awards! 🏆🏆 We're hugely grateful for both the Silver and Audience Choice awards and hope they help to raise awareness of this important project. Special thanks to everyone involved, including our partners Metastage, Source Sound, Inc. and IMN Creative ❤️ https://lnkd.in/ghC5NGEe

The folks at Definition magazine hit us up to nerd out over all the tech used to bring the world of Fallout to life, and the issue is now out for you to feast your eyes upon. 👀 Shout out to AJ Sciutto for sharing all the good stuff 🤩 Our awesome partners SATORE STUDIO, Fuse Technical Group and All of it Now also share the secrets of their unique workflows in a dedicated article, so go and show it some love ❤️

Thank you to the Los Angeles Times and The Los Angeles Times Entertainment for prominently featuring Holocaust Museum LA's newly launched Augmented Reality app that you can read about here. The app, an immersive learning tool that allows users to interact with a 3D model of the Nazi death camp Sobibor, was developed in partnership with Academy Award Winning Visual Development & Experience company Magnopus. Actor Ben Feldman serves as a holographic guide providing historical context and encouraging deeper exploration of the camp’s layout and daily life. Educating young students to think critically about the lessons of the Holocaust and its social relevance today is more crucial than ever. The AR app is available for free download in Apples App Store. We are grateful to the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, Cbs Television City Studios and the SNIDER FAMILY FOUNDATION for their generous support.
