Our journey so far...
Our story began in 2013, when Dr. Raine Kajastila's (CEO) post-doctoral research about motivating people to move with technology sparked the idea of blending video games and rock climbing. By 2015, the potential was clear and this vision attracted government funding to build a team and commercialize the ValoClimb technology.
Dr. Raine Kajastila started his post-doctoral research at Aalto University in Finland. First prototypes were built and academic white papers about the augmented climbing wall were published.
Research about trampoline games and other sports started in collaboration with Leo Holsti and Prof. Perttu Hämäläinen. By 2015 a team of 6 was working on turning the prototypes into commercial products.
Valo Motion founded by Dr. Raine Kajastila, Joni Vähämäki, and Leo Holsti. ValoClimb launched, bringing augmented reality games to climbing walls.
ValoClimb video explodes online with over 250 million views, catching the attention of leisure operators across the world.
Also, the first year we participated in industry's biggest trade show - the IAAPA Expo.
ValoClimb quickly became a favorite, finding happy customers in venues, such as indoor playgrounds, climbing gyms and trampoline parks across the globe.
After the success of ValoClimb, we launched ValoJump, bringing a playful mixed-reality twist to trampolining and accelerating trampoline parks into a new generation.
ValoJump dual set-up won the IAAPA Brass Ring Award in the Best New Product category
For venues with ceiling height restrictions or trampoline insurance limitations, we designed ValoJump Air setup with air tracks instead of trampolines.
Introduced ValoLeague, our Active eSports League, bringing global competitions to local venues. Seasonal challenges allow players to compete worldwide for top 4 rankings to win cash prizes.
This further helps operators to monetize their ValoClimb and ValoJump offerings, aims to boost repeat visits and enhance social play at their venue
We released ValoArena, an unattended mixed reality playground that lets up to 6 players play, laugh, and share the thrill of immersive mixed-reality game worlds using their bodies as controllers and requiring no VR goggles, gloves or controllers.
ValoArena wins IAAPA Brass Ring Award for Best New Product, our second such honor.
Introduced ValoPark, a solution designed to help leisure operators scale their business into shopping malls.
At the same time the company opened ValoHalli - our own ValoPark in the same building as our HQ in Lauttasaari, Helsinki.
Our team grew to over 50 talented individuals. Plus, we reached 3.5 Million hours of playtime, which is 400 years of nonstop moving. Amazing!
Every innovation, every game, and every step we take at Valo Motion is aimed at achieving our goal for 2030 of moving people 1 million times per day with our games to inspire movement and contribute to a healthier world, all while helping you grow your business.
