Frontier Realms is a Creative Lab with a Proprietary AI Platform. Our passion is to develop and spread stories that inspire people to be healthier, smarter, and happier.

We are experts in a new type of storytelling, rooted in psychology, which weaves important messages about health and lifestyle into fantasy adventures centered around compelling AI characters (virtual influencers).

We start with the things you most want people to know and do. We convert your goals into a Realm of Virtual Humans engaged in a journey or quest tailored to your key target audience.

Realms reach out over any social channel

we are feeling machines that think.”

Realms Inspire Action

Marketing ideas by just EXPLAINING what people should know and do DOES NOT work for most people. Knowledge is necessary but NOT ENOUGH to get people to adopt new habits.

We tend to believe our life decisions are based on calm logic and reasoning. However, evidence overwhelmingly shows that many life choices are strongly shaped by emotion, then we cherry-pick the facts to rationalize our decisions.

Frontier Realms taps into emotion to build internal motivation. We inspire action by shaping the Stories We Live By.

How Realms Work

“AI hallucinates. This should be the tech that you DON’T trust that much.”

— Sam Altman, OpenAI 

Our Story Starts With
Human Wisdom and Trust

Yes, AI is powerful, but there’s a reason every LLM comes with a disclaimer. Frontier Realms solves for trust and reliability by engaging Human Intelligence to set priorities, guide the arc of Realm Stories, and even participate in how they play out.

Virtual Characters on Fantastic
Adventures Grounded in Science

Realms explorations build vital understanding of the underlying science of physical, mental and social health. Health science experts set the priorities to bring the latest science to craft the arc of each story, then we put our AI Platform to work to fill in details – with guardrails in place.

The AI character, NovaOnMars: “First Settler on Mars.” She shares her missions and daily life with thousands of earthlings over social media.

Lean Into Evolving Events

Realms create a platform to respond directly to emerging events. Experts craft the message of support and action, AI weaves it into appropriate storylines delivered at scale.

Crossover Between Realms

Core Team

Howard Rose, M.Ed.

Chief Change Agent

I’ve dedicated my career to creative uses of technology that make people smarter, healthier, happier. I’ve started and run multiple companies using VR and immersion for health and wellness. A designer and educator at heart, I’ve also learned how business savvy can make visions successful in the real world. I conceived, designed, managed, executed Attack of the S. Mutans! I’m excited about Frontier Realms as a path to achieve this vision at scale and engage my accumulated skills and passions.

Mitch Apley

Chief Story Teller

My decade as Head of Broadcast at AbelsonTaylor deeply entrenched  in me a profound understanding of navigating healthcare communication regulations and best practices. Now, we create. stories (Realms)  that are smart enough to self regulate, evolve, delight, and importantly – genuinely influence user  behavior. Combining established principles of CGI/VFX, design, and narrative development with this emerging technology, we anticipate the establishment of all new benchmarks for content effectiveness.

Marko Post

Chief of Energy and Magic

I have spent years in the CGI/VFX trenches creating high-quality graphics for Hollywood films, TV, and commercials. The rise of AI has not just changed how I view content production – I am now focused on a vision where entertainment and education blend into one personalized stream delivered over multiple platforms. Hyperworlds’ Nova on Mars demonstrates the potential of this vision to grab and hold an audience. Frontier Realms is the next step beyond in AI generated experiences pushing the line between the real and virtual worlds.
