The AI-powered, trendy gadget hardware GENiEX, developed by Hangzhou-based studio METAPEX, stands as the inaugural physical product under its original sci-fi intellectual property, “SEIVOID”. The product has made waves on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform, exceeding its initial funding goal by an astonishing 1000% and achieving its target in just under an hour after launch.

GENiEX takes an innovative approach by first building a nearly decade-long sci-fi universe and then using AI technology as a bridge to seamlessly connect this fictional world with reality. Its core audience includes adult users who are enthusiastic about sci-fi, animation, gaming, and nostalgic collectibles.

Featuring a retro sci-fi walkie-talkie design, GENiEX offers three engaging gameplay modes: single-player, two-player, and multiplayer. Notably, the AI characters in the game are entirely fictional, avoiding any real-world content. The product replaces the traditional AI computing power subscription model with a game content consumption logic, enhancing the user experience.

In terms of pricing, GENiEX is positioned within the high-end trendy gadget market, appealing to discerning consumers. Additionally, the team has plans to release related games built on UE5, exploring cross-media continuity of characters and striving to integrate various entertainment mediums such as animation, gaming, and AI.
