    Imagine a world where stories don’t just unfold around you—they unfold because of you. At iMyth, we’re reimagining interactive storytelling by making characters more than just part of the narrative; they become active participants in your journey. Our Heroes are evolving, not only to engage with their surroundings but to engage with you—learning, responding, and co-creating unforgettable moments. Now, as we expand our feature set based on valuable community feedback, we invite you to help shape the future of immersive experiences.

    A Leap Beyond the Prototype

    iMyth Heroes began as a simple prototype—a foundation for interactive, augmented reality (AR) characters. But with insights from our early adopters, we are now expanding their feature set to make these heroes even more dynamic, expressive, and capable. The most requested feature? Bringing more life and locomotion to our characters, allowing them to explore, interact, and truly inhabit the augmented environments around them.

    Introducing the Next-Gen iMyth Hero Experience

    With our latest advancements, iMyth Heroes will:

    • Engage with Guests on a Personal Level – Our characters will not just be interesting; they will be interested—actively conversing, remembering past interactions, and tailoring their responses to each guest.
    • Explore and Interact with Environments – Using AI-driven movement and spatial awareness, Heroes will now roam, react, and interact with their surroundings for a more immersive experience.
    • Harness the Power of the Hero’s Journey AI Model – Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, our AI storytelling engine enables characters to weave guests into grand narratives, offering personalized and evolving story arcs.
    • Accelerate Story World Expansion – Our cutting-edge production technology allows us to bring new characters and story worlds to life faster than ever, ensuring a constantly growing universe of interactive experiences.

    The Heart of iMyth: Impactful Interactive Storytelling

    Our mission has always been to inspire happiness and wonder through storytelling that empowers, engages, and entertains. By refining our technology, we are bringing guests closer to their favorite characters while allowing them to shape their own adventures.

    At iMyth, we believe in bringing happiness to children, of all ages, through immersive storytelling, and we can’t do it without you! Our mission is to create the world’s most impactful interactive experiences, allowing guests to engage with legendary characters in ways never before possible. But what makes an experience truly unforgettable? The answer: real feedback from the people who matter most—our guests.

    Your Input, Our Innovation

    We recently took iMyth Heroes to the Orlando Maker Faire, where hundreds of guests had the chance to interact with Tickle, one of our interactive Heroes. The insights gained were invaluable—seeing the magic in children’s eyes as they played, discovering what excited them most, and hearing their ideas on how to make the experience even better.

    One particularly special moment came from a small family of two—a 9-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister. While the boy loved trying to thwart Tickle with scientific questions and technological puzzles, his sister was drawn to banter-centric interactions, challenging the limits of social interactions. Their contrasting preferences highlighted the importance of tailoring our experiences to diverse interests. All children wanted to interact with more familiar characters such as Spiderman, Cinderella, and Sponge Bob.

    This is exactly why we need you—your thoughts help us refine our features, ensuring iMyth Heroes becomes a product that children can’t live without.

  • Creator Spotlight: Sunny

    Creator Spotlight: Sunny

    Every hero has an origin story, and for iMyth’s first character, Tickle, that story began with the boundless creativity of Sunny Zheng. As a pioneer in immersive storytelling, Sunny embarked on an artistic adventure—transforming a simple concept into a living, breathing hero.

    From Inspiration to Creation

    Sunny’s journey began with research, gathering references from around the world to infuse Tickle with a unique identity.

    “My creative inspiration mostly comes from her background story. She is a tough girl who has been through a lot, but she still holds a good heart for people. I was drawn to her unique personality and wanted to express that through visual design. She reminds me of Jung Ho-yeon from Squid Game where she has that dangerous gesture but is still soft from the inside.”

    From there, she crafted concept sketches, shaping Tickle’s personality and visual appeal. But the real magic happened as she moved from sketches to initial sculpts, refining every detail to create a character that felt truly alive.

    “When I was creating Tickle, I was playing with the idea of dangerously cute. I have added sharp edges to her facial features but also maintain the softness of the overall feeling. She is playful but reliable when she interacts with people. Therefore, her body features should be light and lively, and the color green was mostly used to represent that she is safe and trustworthy.”

    With precision and passion, she applied texture painting, layering colors and materials to make Tickle’s skin, clothing, and expressions feel authentic. Once complete, Tickle was optimized for Unreal Engine, ensuring seamless integration into iMyth Heroes. Tickle was now ready to step into the world—bringing joy, wonder, and adventure to audiences everywhere.

    The iMyth Mission in Action

    Tickle is more than a character—she is a testament to iMyth’s mission to bring happiness through immersive storytelling.

    “I was really glad for the opportunity to learn about Tickle and use my expertise in 3D character creation to bring her from concept to life. I am excited for iMyth to include more variety of costumed characters and have them resonate with people and make a positive impact on the world!”

    Her creation exemplifies the power of interactive AR experiences, transforming storytelling from a passive activity into an engaging, magical journey.

    “I think the power of being able to speak to someone that doesn’t exist or might have decides what would be a really impactful iMyth experience. For example, if I could speak to Albert Einstein and have him guide me through learning physics, it would be more interesting than reading textbooks.”

    Join the Adventure!

    iMyth is just getting started, and we want you to be part of the journey. Whether as a supporter, collaborator, or co-founder, your involvement can help shape the future of interactive storytelling. Follow iMyth for updates and be the first to meet the next iMyth Hero!

  • Heart of iMyth

    Heart of iMyth

    iMyth is not just entertainment, it’s magic: crafting emotional experiences that linger in memories and nourish souls! Our Hero strategy is built around one simple but powerful idea: the best stories aren’t just told; they’re shared, shaped, and lived by those who engage with them.

    Beyond existing as digital denizens of our favorite story worlds; iMyth Heroes are interactive guides, storytellers, and companions who listen, remember, and respond in ways that uplift and inspire. This strategy isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about sparking joy, and leaving guests feeling like the heroes of their own adventures.

    More Than a Character—A Personal Experience

    Traditional storytelling is a one-way street: characters speak, and audiences listen. iMyth flips the script by making every guest a key part of the story. iMyth Heroes are designed to listen, remember, and build experiences around what guests share. Whether it’s a playful conversation, an inspiring challenge, or a custom adventure, every moment is crafted to leave guests feeling empowered and engaged.

    How the Hero Strategy Brings Happiness to the World

    The magic of iMyth’s Hero strategy comes from its ability to:

    • Create Personalized Adventures – Every guest’s interaction is unique, ensuring that their journey is meaningful and memorable.
    • Foster Empowerment Through Storytelling – By weaving guests into the narrative, iMyth Heroes help them see their potential and embrace their own creativity.
    • Deliver Happiness on Demand – With augmented reality, these experiences can happen anywhere, at any time—bringing joy into everyday moments.

    Be Part of the Future of Storytelling

    iMyth redefines entertainment by making it interactive, personal, and joyful. Through the Hero strategy, we’re building a world where every guest has a voice, every story is unique, and every interaction leaves a lasting impact.

  • iMyth North Star

    iMyth North Star

    Imagine if happiness wasn’t a place you had to visit, but an adventure waiting for you—anywhere, anytime.

    As children, we dreamed of stepping into our favorite story worlds, of talking to legendary heroes, and of being part of magical adventures. For many, the closest thing to that dream was a trip to Orlando—a place where characters came to life. But not everyone has the means to travel, endure long lines and Florida heat, or navigate the crowds. Should happiness be limited by geography?

    At iMyth, we say no.

    Welcome to the iMyth North Star—a future where immersive storytelling and augmented reality bring joy to the world at scale. With just a mobile device, iMyth Heroes let you interact with beloved characters, legendary figures, or even new best friends, right in your own world. No tickets. No boundaries. Just magic in the palm of your hand.

    iMyth is pioneering a new frontier in storytelling, blending the narrative depth of books and films, the interactivity of video games, and the immersion of theme parks—without the barriers of physical location.
