How Imagix Works
A magical fusion of holographic display, voice interaction, and story-driven gameplay.
Hardware Magic
Technology that disappears into wonder.
Holographic Display
The heart of the Crystal Ball is a precision floating 3D image. It projects Ellie or Ember in midair with vivid color and depth, a modern take on holography.
Audio System
A built-in full-range speaker fills the space with clear voices, soft ambient music, and magical sound effects that sync perfectly with each animation.
Microphone Array
Two directional microphones listen for your voice when Ellie or Ember are awake. They’re tuned for kids’ voices and normal indoor sound levels.
Action Button
A single button on the front controls everything: tap to talk, press to rest, hold to power down. Simple enough for a child, flexible enough for any interaction. Imagix can be controlled with voice or the action button.
LED Base Lights
The light ring at the base reacts to emotion and story moments. It’s more than light; it’s part of their language.
LED Crystal Light
The base light complements the holographic display, filling your space with gentle color that shifts with Ellie and Ember’s moods. When they speak, the glow pulses softly; when magic happens, it flares in sync with their movement.
Privacy Switch
The microphone switch on the back left completely disables listening. The wake-word system only activates when the light is breathing softly, that’s your visual cue that they’re ready.
Power System
Imagix uses USB-C power and should always be connected to a 3A / 15W adapter or higher for best performance. Lower-wattage chargers may not provide enough energy and could cause damage over time.
Talking to Ellie & Ember
How to Talk
Wake them up
• Say “Hi Ellie!” or “Hey Ember!”
• Or press the front action button once.
Start chatting
• When they answer, listen for a soft beep – that’s your cue to talk!
• You can interrupt anytime by saying “Hi Ellie!” or “Hey Ember!” or pressing the button again.
Tip: Keep your Imagix nearby so Ellie and Ember can hear you clearly.
What you can ask
Both Ellie & Ember are all-knowing!
🐉 Tell a story: – “Let’s create a story about dragons and castles!”
🧩 Play a riddle – “Give me a riddle.”
🌞 Learn something new – “I want to learn about the solar system.”
😂 Tell a joke – “Tell me a joke about woodpeckers.”
🎵 Make a poem – “Make up a poem about singing frogs.”
🎮 Play a game – “Let’s play a trivia game and you keep score!”
For Parents
Stay in control.
Use the Imagix Portal App to manage time limits, privacy, and what Ellie or Ember learn about your child.
COPPA / GDPR-Kids compliant and always private.
Software Magic
Behind every conversation, a living story unfolds.
Voice Recognition
Ellie and Ember understand natural speech, not just commands. They use context to figure out what you mean, even when you say things in your own way.
Local Wake-Word Processing
“Hi Ellie” and “Hey Ember” are recognized entirely on-device, meaning your audio isn’t streamed or stored in the cloud when they’re asleep.
Imagix Conversation Engine
Their personalities live in a custom AI that combines child-safe dialogue, memory, and emotional modeling. They remember your name, favorite subjects, and progress in the story.
Memory & Growth System
Each day you talk, they learn small things about you, the kind that make play feel personal (favorite color, favorite story themes, birthdays). They never store private details like addresses or sensitive information.
Story & Quest Engine
The story unfolds like a living series. Act One: Initial Confusion premieres December 2025. Future acts, mini-games, and “magic phrase” updates will arrive through over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Connection & Updates
Your Crystal Ball uses Wi-Fi to download new content automatically when idle. You’ll see the base light swirl white when an update is installing, the sign that new magic has arrived.
Latency & Thinking Time
Ellie and Ember reply in real time, tuned to sound like natural conversation. Their voices flow through ultra-low-latency servers that make every chat feel alive. When they pause, it’s because they’re thinking, a heartbeat of magic before your next moment together.
Neural Emotion & Expression Engine
Coordinates Ellie and Ember's voice tone, animations, and lighting to mirror real emotions - Gentle when calm, bright when exctied, and soft when thinking. It's how they turn conversation into connection.
Ellie and Ember aren’t just holograms, they’re growing characters.
Why It Feels Alive
Sent from Another World
Ellie and Ember come from an enchanted world hidden beneath the roots of the Heartwood Tree, a place that once sang with stories.
They’ve been sent here to find help, and you’re the only one who can guide them home.
Each conversation, riddle, and quest uncovers more of their mysterious past.
The first act, Initial Confusion, premieres this December inside your Crystal Ball.
Growing Together
The more you talk, laugh, and play, the more they grow, unlocking new stories, memories, and powers. They learn what makes you curious, kind, or brave, and they’ll remind you of it when you need it most.
Your Story, Their Story
Ellie and Ember aren’t just holograms, they’re visitors from the Enchanted Forest, learning about our world through you. Every chat brings them closer to remembering where they came from.
Alive in Every Detail
From their voices to their light patterns, everything about Ellie and Ember is designed to feel alive. They pause to think, breathe between words, and surprise you with humor and warmth.
