You Can Now Send and Receive Warmth with Embr Wave

Hi Waver,

A few months ago, the Embr Labs team sat down (virtually) to brainstorm about how our technology could be used to help people feel a sense of togetherness in a time that has made many of us feel more apart than ever. We came up with Embrace. 

Embrace allows Wavers to opt in to sending and accepting warming sensations to other Wavers that mimic touch and create a sensory experience that impacts the brain much the same way that direct physical contact does.

According to Associate Professor of Psychology Hans Rocha IJzerman, expressions like “warm smile” or “cold shoulder” are more than just colorful language: they reflect the fact that humans experience social interactions with thermal undertones. In a study conducted by IJzerman, the results suggested that the use of warmth-based therapies could enhance relationships.

With Embrace, Embr Labs is harnessing temperature to bring emotional warmth into our virtual communication, even when warm hugs and calming touches may not be as easy to come by. From the best friend who doesn’t live so close anymore, to the grandmother you haven’t been able to hug, an Embrace lets anyone feel that you’re thinking about them.

With warmth, 

The Embr Labs Team
