Domain Myra was a programme that concentrates on technology, especially on the development of selected websites and websites that are developed by Malaysians. The programme was produced by Double Vision for Astro Ria in the early 2000s. It is hosted by Myra, who is actually a virtual host, generated using motion capture. Motion capture was done by POV and EL Videographics. The executive producers were Low Huoi Leong and Steve Bristow. Animation was done by Albert Chew. It takes six months to complete the animation of Myra. This was Malaysia's first attempt in making a virtual host.
In an article about Domain Myra by Utusan Malaysia in 2001, Myra is a 19 year old Pan Asian who is active and knows a lot about the world of information technology. She
resembles Victoria Adams, one of the singers of Spice Girls, a popular
British girl group that was popular in the late 1990s.
Besides Myra, virtual host were used in Anugerah Era 2001 and 2002, also on Astro Ria. A robot is used to be the host.
