Anima

Souls in silent things.

Anima is an iOS app that lets silent objects speak. Point your camera at anything — a bronze artifact in a museum, an old family photograph, your child's teddy bear — and Anima scans its look and identity, then generates a one-of-a-kind persona on the spot: a unique voice, a personality, and stories of its own. Every scan is a surprise.

Why it matters

A child meets history not from a placard, but from the artifact itself. A grandmother's photograph speaks again, telling memories the family thought were lost. More than learning. More than memory. Companions hidden in the everyday things around us.

See

Use the camera to recognize and track an object in the real world with AR and visual fingerprints.

Compose

Generate a fresh persona from appearance and identity, complete with its own tone, temperament, and catchphrases.

Converse

Hold to talk, hear a live voice response, and watch the character speak back with realtime lip-sync.

Remember

Keep characters in a persistent library so the same object can return as a familiar companion later.

Demo video

The product itself is a native iOS app, so this page focuses on fast online review: one click to understand the concept, watch the demo, and download the deck. For playback stability, the embedded player uses the on-site video file while the download link still points to the unified .ai domain.

Product journey

These four frames show the experience arc clearly: aim at an object, capture it, generate a soul, then start a conversation.
