Realityworks had a humble beginning. Originally called Jurmain Prototyping, the company was based out of the kitchen and garage of co-owners Rick and Mary Jurmain in San Diego, California. The Baby Think It Over® infant simulator (the company’s first product line) was invented in 1993. Rick and Mary, who were parents of two young children at the time, had seen a program on television that showed teens using eggs and flour sacks to simulate caring for an infant. Rick remarked to Mary that these seemed like a poor substitute for a real infant because there was no crying or waking up at night. Mary jokingly challenged him to invent something that did those things. Rick, who was an aerospace engineer and about to be downsized from his job, took Mary’s challenge to heart. Several weeks after this exchange, the first prototype of the Baby Think It Over® infant simulator was born.
