How Augmento Began: Bridging Art and Technology with Augmented Reality

Welcome to the very beginning of our journey here at Augmento, where innovation meets tradition in the art world. It all started in 2022, a year that marked a significant shift in how people interact with art, thanks to augmented reality (AR).

‍

From Idea to Innovation

‍

The concept of Augmento was sparked by a simple yet profound realization: art could be more than a passive experience. Our founders, Wesley Pabis and Remy de Klein, both tech aficionados with a deep love for art, saw an opportunity to merge their two passions. They envisioned a platform where art isn't just observed but interacted with and experienced in completely new ways.

‍

With backgrounds in technology and creative arts, Wesley and Remy brought complementary skills to the table. They envisioned a world where art could transcend physical and spatial limitations, allowing for a more engaging and immersive experience. Their mission was clear: to make art accessible and engaging for everyone, everywhere, using the power of AR.

Early Days and Initial Challenges

‍

Like any startup, the early days were filled with challenges. From perfecting the AR technology to finding the right talent to join our team, every step was a learning experience. However, the commitment to our vision kept us going. We knew that what we were building had the potential to change the art landscape forever.

‍

A significant early milestone for Augmento was the development of our first AR application, which allowed users to see beyond the frame of traditional artworks. This application was not just a tool but a new lens through which to view and understand art, providing rich, interactive experiences that were previously unimaginable.

‍

Reflecting on our origins helps us stay grounded and focused as we continue to innovate. It reminds us of our commitment to enhancing how art is created and appreciated and of the continuous journey of learning and growing we are on.

‍

The genesis of Augmento is more than just the start of a company; it's the beginning of a revolution in the art world. Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll delve into the breakthroughs in technology and art that have defined our journey thus far.
