MythOS City
Launch of MythOS City — an infinitely expanding virtual space for work, entertainment, education, and life.
Monogon Industries began creating learning cartridges for audio computers in the early 1960's as Vocal8. Throughout the following decades Monogon pioneered early home computing hardware. After the console wars of the late 1980's, Monogon shifted focus towards Al designed, procedurally generated user operating systems primarily for edutainment purposes. Al operating research and development eventually lead to the early experiments in virtual interfacing systems. Monogon Industries and the VoidMind Al both strive to create an infinitely expanding virtual space for work, entertainment, education, and life; starting with MythOS City.
Becomes the most popular Christmas gift for children of all ages.
Vocal8 (Monogon Ind.) distributes the greatest number of Stereo 8 tape cartridges in North America.
Eight-track magnetic tape becomes the preferred method of educational information storage for mass consumption.
Vocal8 makes history by converting magnetic tape audio data to short-form video, transcoding the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
Vocal8 begins experimentation with compact cassette tape, branching the company to create V8C and Monotape.
V8C's decision to reject home arcade and computation units proves ill-fated as Monotape thrives instead, developing a hardware add-on for cassette-play integration.
Monotape begins early development into disc-based laser readers.
The Media Board of Canada Group declares that magnetic tape media should be phased out of circulation in favor of a more stable information storage format.
Rebranding preemptively distances the company from the magnetic tape format, preparing for a full transfer to optical media.
MonoDisc continues to release cassette media, most notably audiobooks on tape.
Work begins on an optical-format home entertainment and educational computer.
Holiday release of the first Monodisc home edutainment device, met with roaring success.
PolySystem is re-issued and initial development begins on OldMyth. The same year, Monogon discovers the ████████.
Old Myth releases as a home computing operating system add-on for the PolySystem.
Rebrands as Monogon Industries and heavily finances research into simulated reality, built primarily around successful experiments in the ████████.
Monogon launches the first wearable computing device, code-named Prophet (released as “The Hat” or simply “p1”). Running a virtual conversion of OldMyth: Classroom, it paves the way for a wave of computer headgear and the eventual development of MythOS.
Monogon Industries expands into telecommunications, hardware and software development, education philanthropy, nutritional sciences, medical research, energy conservation, and housing programs.
