About Us

CGO Studios is a Los Angeles-based immersive media studio dedicated to bringing history to life through historically grounded storytelling. Since 2015, we’ve created immersive experiences that transport audiences to the defining moments of the past, working alongside historians, museums, cultural institutions, families, and subject-matter experts to recreate history with exceptional authenticity.

We believe history is more than something we read about—it is something we can experience. That belief continues to guide everything we create, helping audiences Witness History® through immersive experiences that make the past more immediate, personal, and meaningful.

Since creating our first historical recreation in 2015, CGO Studios has spent more than a decade refining the art of historically grounded, immersive storytelling. Combined with over 30 years of professional experience across film, games, animation, visualization, and immersive media, our team brings together diverse creative and technical expertise in service of one goal: bringing history to life.

Today, we’ve developed more than a dozen historical projects, collaborated with over 30 historians, museums, institutions, and subject-matter experts, and continue to expand our work across new audiences and platforms.

Every CGO Studios experience begins with the historical record and ends with an immersive world. We combine primary source research and expert collaboration with modern production techniques, including photogrammetry, motion capture, volumetric capture, real-time rendering, AI-assisted workflows, and other emerging technologies to recreate history with exceptional authenticity and immersion.

Over the past decade, CGO Studios has shared its work with audiences around the world through public demonstrations, exhibitions, conferences, schools, museums, and community organizations. Our experiences have been showcased at events including E3, Comic-Con, SIGGRAPH, and the Toronto International Film Festival, while also reaching students, educators, and local communities through demonstrations and educational partnerships.

Our work has also been featured by more than 50 media publications, highlighted by Unreal Engine in its Sense of Presence series, and featured by Discovery Channel, reflecting the growing interest in immersive media as a powerful new way to experience history.

Immersive media has transformed the way people experience history, and we believe its greatest potential is still ahead. While virtual reality remains one of our most powerful storytelling tools, it’s only one part of a broader creative vision that spans museums, classrooms, location-based experiences, web platforms, and emerging technologies.

As we continue to grow, our long-term vision is Ex Libris®: Immersive Museum of History – a living digital museum that brings together history’s defining moments in one shared, virtual destination.
