Emerge has announced the launch of Emerge Home system that is the first product to enable immersive 'bare-hands' tactile experiences in the Metaverse. This product enables the sensation of physical touch for virtual reality (VR) experiences and consists of three components: the Emerge Wave-1 device, the Emerge Home social virtual experience, and the Emerge Home mobile app.
The Emerge Wave-1 is a new tabletop device that enables users’ bare hands to be their controllers. Around the same footprint as a 13″ laptop, the device emits sculpted ultrasonic waves that allow users to feel and interact via touch in the virtual world. Through the use of Emerge’s patented technology, the Emerge Wave-1 creates a mid-air field of interaction up to three feet above the device and 120 degrees around it.
