Virtual Reality Gnomes


Apparently Gnome isn't the only thing in the tech world named after the best mythological creature ever. The Head Gnome, as his email says, is David Wyand, founder of Gnometech, a company that specializes in gaming hardware and game development. He also wrote a textbook on Torque 3D game development for Garage Games.

Apparently they've developed a few apps for VR including a paint app, Circumpaint, a hockey game, and a turtle simulator. Gnome and Gnometech may share more than just a namesake. Torque 3D, and Gnome are both open source programs. This would lead me to believe that Gnometech programs are possibly also open source. Not confirmed, as this doesn't appear on the Gnometech site, but I wouldnt be shocked.
