Augmented Reality Gaming Company Secures $3.5 Million in Venture Capital

Ogmento is the "first augmented reality gaming company" to secure venture capital.

As we've been blogging for the past year, Augmented Reality (and Gaming), are the new technologies to watch. Apparently the investment community has been watching as well. Ogmento, run by Ori Inbar, just announced today that they've secured $3.5 million in venture capital investment, which, according to their press release, makes them the first Augmented Reality Gaming Company to secure venture capital investment.

Tish Shute, the Internet's premiere cool hunter, interviewed Ori Inbar on her blog last summer.
