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

It’s come to our attention that fake emails and social media messages are being sent out, pretending to offer job interviews on behalf of Magnopus. While we’re flattered that someone thinks we’re worth impersonating, we want to make sure you stay safe! 🛡 Remember, if you receive an unexpected interview offer with a mysterious Teams link, it’s probably not us. And never give over any of your personal information unless you are 100% sure the people are legit. Our real job offers come with real human interaction, real excitement, and, of course, real email addresses. Stay sharp out there, and if you’re ever in doubt, feel free to reach out to us directly via our website or verified social media accounts.

The Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema exhibition kicks off today and runs until April 12, 2026, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, LA. Visitors will step into the gritty, futuristic world of #cyberpunk—where cutting-edge tech meets social chaos, urban decay, and rebellious outcasts. We teamed up with Epic Games, Metastage, and Alcon Entertainment, LLC to create a #mixedreality experience opening later this year that explores the creation of a dystopian cyberpunk landscape. We had a blast bringing this to life and can’t wait for you to dive in and explore it for yourselves!
