Marjan — Kids' Educational Character

About the project

Holoriser built a kids' experience for Fujairah Environment Authority (FEA) by creating a 3D version of Marjan, a cartoon character the authority already uses with younger audiences.

We didn't invent the character from scratch. Instead we turned the original into an interactive 3D version that keeps its look and spirit, and gave it the ability to talk and engage with children in a simple, fun way that suits their age.

What we built

We built a 3D version of Marjan, a coral-inspired cartoon character for children, keeping the look and personality kids already know.

We then placed her inside an AI-powered interactive program so she can talk with children, understand their questions and respond in clear, simple language. The model was tuned for a child-friendly experience: Marjan speaks plainly, tells stories, shares facts in an age-appropriate way, answers questions interactively, and works across several languages. She runs on a 75" Holobox.

Scope of work

• Converting the original cartoon character to 3D
• Keeping the character's identity and visual style
• Integrating the character into an interactive program
• Developing a kid-friendly conversation experience
• Training an AI model to understand children's questions
• Enabling storytelling, facts and Q&A
• Support for several languages
• Running on a 75" Holobox

The value it delivered

The project gave children a learning experience that is also fun, built around a character they like, direct interaction and AI. Instead of just seeing Marjan on screen, kids can talk to her, listen to stories and ask questions, and get answers in language they understand. It helped FEA share educational content with children in a way that feels closer and easier to remember.
