A New Step in AI Companionship: TIH Mobile Brings Fully Customizable Chatbot Avatars Into Augmented Reality

TIH Mobile introduce expressive AI companions with customizable 3D avatars, AR interaction, and motion animation—marking a shift beyond text-only chatbots.

CA, UNITED STATES, December 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- While most AI companions remain confined to text interfaces or static visuals, VDIGM's TIH Mobile introduces a model where conversational agents gain a visual, expressive presence through fully customizable 3D avatars, augmented-reality interaction, and motion-tracking technologies.

By integrating avatar personalization, emotional-signal processing, and lightweight motion animation into a single platform, TIH Mobile reflects a broader shift within the AI sector toward embodied and adaptive digital agents. This evolution marks a transition from traditional text-based chatbots to systems capable of responding dynamically to vocal tone, facial cues, and contextual patterns in user interaction.

As global demand grows for AI companions, virtual influencers, and mixed-reality content tools, TIH Mobile positions itself within a rapidly expanding market segment that blends entertainment, personal assistance, and digital identity. The platform’s emphasis on accessibility—requiring only a smartphone, and no specialized hardware— aligns with current market trends favoring democratized creation tools and more widely accessible technologies.

Another feature of TIH is V-Card, the platform’s lightweight motion-animation tool. While high-quality motion capture has traditionally required sensors, suits, or studio-grade equipment. V-Card shifts this model toward a more accessible standard by transforming short smartphone recordings into avatar animations, lowering the technical threshold typically associated with animated content creation.

This approach reflects a broader movement in digital production:
tools that historically belonged to professional studios are becoming consumer-level, enabling independent creators—including VTUBERS— small teams, and everyday users to access motion tracking more easily. As short-form videos continue to dominate online social media, solutions that reduce cost, complexity, and preserve anonymity—without abandoning expressiveness—are increasingly positioned to define the next wave of creator-focused tools.

With its upcoming Kickstarter campaign and February 2026 early-access launch, TIH Mobile aims to contribute to the next phase of consumer AI: systems that are not only conversational but also expressive, customizable, and integrated into the user’s physical and digital environments.
