Apparition

What it is

The visual dimension.

Every other cogniBOX tier is audio. The character exists in sound — a voice that reacts, responds, and converses. Apparition adds the visual dimension. A character with a presence. A face behind the glass. A creature that looks back.

Apparition is a fully conversational AI character displayed on screen. It sees guests. It speaks to them. It never breaks character.

Where it lives

Any surface. Any scene.

Two-Way Mirror

Character appears to live inside the mirror — visible to guests, unreachable.

Window / Portal

A presence visible through glass or a frame — another world pressing in.

Monitor / Screen

Any TV, kiosk, or digital display becomes the body of the character.

Any Display

Flexible — works on virtually any screen your installation can accommodate.

Where operators deploy it

Five scenarios. Infinite variations.

Villain at a Mirror

A figure stares back from the glass — aware, composed, relentless. It knows the guest's name and has been watching since the gate.

Figure Behind Glass

A silhouette pressed against frosted glass — breathing, present, and unhurried. The restraint of what guests cannot fully see makes it more unsettling than anything fully revealed.

Escape Room Oracle

A screen character who taunts wrong answers and acknowledges every breakthrough — no script, no clips, no repetition. Every team gets a conversation their escape room has never had before.

Queue Line Character

A character on a screen at the entrance who learns the room, builds tension, and names guests before the experience begins. Dead wait time becomes structured dread.

Museum Exhibit

A portrait behind exhibit glass that responds to visitor questions, stays in period, and engages each person individually — without a performer, without a script.

Getting started

Three steps to a character that talks back.

Install the display

Mount any screen, mirror, or window display in your attraction. Apparition works with the hardware you already have — no proprietary screen required.

Configure your character

Choose your character's voice, personality, and visual presence through cogniFX. Use the Persona Pack Builder to define who your character is, how they speak, and what they will never say.

AI does the rest

Apparition converses with every guest. Naturally. Relentlessly. In character. No actor behind the glass. No pre-recorded lines running out. No off nights.

The visual dimension.

Any surface. Any scene.

Five scenarios. Infinite variations.
