Fans can create one-of-one, custom merchandise based on the authentic “Titan Universe” characters ahead of the release of “Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure.”

To celebrate the release of “Ryan’s World the Movie: Titan Universe Adventure” on August 16, pocket.watch, the digital-first studio building franchises for the next generation of families, announced a new AI partnership with Vermillio, an authenticated AI solutions platform. Through Vermillio’s Trace ID, pocket.watch will launch a generative AI application where fans of Ryan’s World can create custom merchandise based on authentic “Titan Universe” characters. Each creation will be a one-of-one, uniquely reflecting the pose and choices that fans and their families make during the innovative app experience.
“Pocket.watch and Ryan’s World have developed a global community of passionate fans who enjoy collaboration, creativity and imagination,” says Dan Neely, co-founder and chief executive officer, Vermillio. “We’re proud to leverage Vermillio’s Trace ID technology to develop an innovative, authenticated app that lets each fan and family generate their own completely unique, custom hero. Ahead of the release of the groundbreaking ‘Ryan’s World the Movie,’ we know that fans will create some truly unique heroes rooted in the incredible ‘Ryan’s World’ IP.”
With Vermillio’s Trace ID platform, brands, studios and more valuable IP holders can proactively track and authenticate the use of their IP in generative AI content, enabling permission, fair credit and compensation for their work as well as control of how it is used by others. Vermillio’s Authenticated AI allows large IP holders to deepen connections with loyal fans by crafting immersive experiences that serve their large communities.
Using the upcoming film and more approved, official IP from pocket.watch, Vermillio has built an authenticated AI model for the world of “Titan Universe.” Families can strike a series of superhero poses that informs how the generative AI model creates a bespoke, custom hero for each family member. The app then allows fans to print the new creation on demand and instantly order the custom merchandise in time to wear before seeing the film.
“Through Vermillio’s groundbreaking AI generative technology, not only can families find their hero within, but for the first time ever they can wear it on their sleeves,” says Chris M. Williams, founder and chief executive officer, pocket.watch. “Pocket.watch is dedicated to delivering content and experiences that reflect our diverse audience, and the innovation and incredible considerations for inclusivity within this offering do just that.”
Vermillio has leveraged Trace ID for groundbreaking projects in partnership with some of the world’s leading IP holders. Sony Pictures Entertainment and Vermillio previously launched the “Spidersociety'' Generative AI engine – an online application that allows fans of the Spider-Verse franchise from around the world to use a custom AI engine that draws upon official, authenticated intellectual property from the films to create a digital Spider-Verse version of themselves. The project marked the first time a major studio has used generative AI to build a fan experience around interacting with iconic IP. In partnership with Sony Music Entertainment and Legacy Recordings, Vermillio collaborated with The Orb and David Gilmour to develop “Metallic Spheres in Colour.” Through Trace ID, the breakthrough AI project allowed fans to create their own personalized AI track and artwork remixed from portions of “Metallic Spheres in Colour.”
