Emerge, Inc. Information

We believe in a future where distance doesn’t stand in the way of feeling present. Emerge is a teleportation company working at the intersection of neuroscience, immersive, and affective computing, developing products that bring touch, emotion, and natural interaction to augmented experiences, and ultimately redefining the concept of “teleportation”. Emerge’s first product is a tabletop device that transmits our sense of touch from a distance. It maps a tactile interface onto digital 3D objects/holograms in real time, allowing you to physically feel and interact with your bare hands in a shared co-located or telepresence experience. This product, in context of immersive computing - AR, MR, VR & holograms -, will enable new paradigms of human connection and cognition as it redefines the way we communicate, work, learn, design, collaborate, and interact for the following decades. Our vision is to build an ecosystem of solutions for our homes and workspaces that bring presence and human communication to a new level by connecting people's emotions and feelings, on the path to ultimately "teleporting"​ our presence. Emerge was founded during Singularity University’s Graduate Studies Program, which was sponsored by Google and was located at NASA Ames Research Center in California.
