About immi:
immi exists to inspire self-expression through animation. For
casual creators and character fanatics who want to experience the
fun, joy, and freedom of being anyone they want to be, immi,
through empowering self-expression, is the only real-time animation
platform making full-body 3D cinema-quality characters and facial
tracking technology accessible to anyone, anywhere. Unlike any
other real-time animation platform, we believe animation has power,
creativity ignites connection, and when we fully express ourselves,
we bring more to life. Our team is comprised of tech veterans (from
places like Twitter and SNAP) and former entertainment executives
who are committed to infusing joy and fun into the world. AMGI
Studios, immi's strategic partners, is comprised of the highest
caliber animators who have walked the halls of Pixar, Disney, and
Dreamworks, and are reshaping the landscape of animated content

cutting-edge technology and creation of extraordinary characters,
together we are immi. Where imagination meets animation.
