Pixi launches AI-powered AR messaging app for iOS

Pixi has launched a new iOS app that transforms text messages into interactive augmented reality experiences. The app allows users to send AI-powered AR characters through iMessage, which can interact with the recipient's surroundings and respond in real-time. Pixi aims to enhance digital conversations by adding a sense of presence and spontaneity, with plans to eventually feature a marketplace for creators and brands to offer their own AR characters. AI

IMPACT Enhances digital communication by enabling interactive AR characters that respond to surroundings and user input.
