About Us

Hyper interactive was born out of a lifelong passion to delight audiences. We pioneered a new genre of interactive movies, moving audiences from spectators to participants in an unfolding story. Unlike AI approaches that introduce synthetic humans, our approach has been committed to preserving the human touch. We introduced “AI-Assist” to video creation, empowering real humans with superpowers to craft an entirely new form of media that is conversational.  This grew to a robust new media platform, ICP, allowing storytellers to overlay hyper-interactive elements into their content- instantly playable on any PC or mobile phone. Our mission extends beyond innovation; it’s about reshaping how storytellers connect with their audiences. Whether you’re a creator, advertiser, teacher, spokesperson, or anyone sharing a story, our goal is to empower you with hyper-interactive storytelling techniques, fostering a new era of engagement.
