Magnopus

We are a technology company founded in 2013 that creates experiences uniting physical and digital worlds. We develop immersive solutions using spatial computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud technology. Our work includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). We build content and applications using platforms such as Unity3D and Unreal Engine, supporting devices like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and HoloLens. We also work with 360º video, visual effects, and virtual production.

We partner with global companies to build immersive solutions for entertainment, education, and other sectors. One of our offerings is Connected Spaces, an immersive cross-device geospatial platform designed to unite physical and digital worlds. TIME magazine included Connected Spaces in its Best Inventions 2022 list.

Our project portfolio includes the “Mission: ISS” VR experience, developed for NASA and Meta. This virtual reality application recreates the International Space Station in detail, based on NASA models and input from astronauts. It lets users experience zero-gravity movement, use space tools, dock a space capsule, and perform a spacewalk, enhanced by instructional video clips from actual astronauts. Released in March 2017 for Oculus/Meta VR headsets, “Mission: ISS” is a non-profit initiative freely available on both the Meta Quest and Rift stores. Since its release, nearly five million people have used it to experience what it’s like to be an astronaut. It has been Emmy Nominated and received a VR Award. It also has strong STEM themes, letting users participate in virtual experiments and missions. We have also worked on projects such as Nissan AR and Dubai Expo 2020. We operate within the technology, information, and media industries, focusing on entertainment and education applications.

We employ between 51 and 200 people. Our culture emphasizes that talented individuals achieve great things and that building the future, while challenging, should also be enjoyable. We look for talented team-players.

We have two primary office locations. Our US headquarters is in downtown Los Angeles, and our team of artists, designers, and engineers works remotely across the United States. This team brings together expertise from Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the game development industry. Our UK office is in St Albans, on the outskirts of London, with team members distributed across the UK, where they develop new ideas and technologies. The US office has a modern open-layout workspace with exposed brick, high ceilings, shared work desks, and cozy seating areas.
