Narwhal
An AI-powered adaptive entertainment platform for children's hospitals that transforms patient rooms into immersive wonderlands.

The Wow Moment
A scared 7-year-old in isolation waves their hand, and suddenly their hospital wall ripples with bioluminescent narwhals swimming through an Arctic sea. A chameleon character pops out, notices their tears, and says 'I was blue too yesterday!' - then changes colors to match the child's favorite stuffed animal. The child forgets they were afraid.
