A technology company focused on human priorities
Bold vision for change often comes from a simple idea.
We are influencing the future of digital identities in two important ways:
First, we create and invest in 3D Virtual Human technologies, like our amazing Heymoji messaging application that allows anyone to become a virtual human using their smartphone.
Next, we enable our members to generate personalized terms and conditions that are attached to their digital identity, fundamentally changing the relationship between people and technology.
Our vision comes from listening to people around the world who want more control over their privacy and more say over how their personal data is managed. Our simple idea is called You Own You. The benefits of joining iVirtual include services that promote privacy and that vastly alter the data collection economy in favour of people.
If you don't own your own identity, who does?
