Emerge Partners With Disney to Bring Its Multi-Sensory Communication Platform to the Home
Shared Tangible Experiences Powered by Emotion AI for Users to Connect Through Displays of the Present - TVs - and the Future
LOS ANGELES, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerge, a company building a multi-sensory communication platform, has signed a strategic multi-year engagement with The Walt Disney Company. This partnership is a major step forward in Emerge's mission to create a new paradigm for emotional connection across distance and time, in a world that is experiencing unprecedented levels of disconnection.
Bare Hand Tactility Unlocks New Ways of Experiencing Disney Content, Together
Emerge Disney partnership
Emerge's partnership with Disney will integrate beloved content into Emerge's personal connection platform. Starting with one of Disney's top franchises, fans will be able to share multi-sensory experiences and interact with friends and family across the world, from the comfort of home. This would enable users to physically feel a "virtual high five" or their favorite superpowers, with bare hands, no gloves or controllers needed.
"For many fans of The Walt Disney Company, the fondest memories lie in the shared moments forged through the stories we've told over the past 100 years. Through our partnership with Emerge, we're thrilled to leverage their technology platform to add a deeper level of "feeling" to these stories and iconic moments that have only been left to the imagination—to experience directly in their homes," said Eric Bautista, Director Consumer Products, Games, and Publishing at Disney
A personal connection platform - starting with touch, powered by emotion AI
The rise of generative AI and its integration with various sensory inputs and outputs opens a unique opportunity in the race for technologies that help strengthen connections across distance. Emerge is building a multi-sensory communication platform—through sight, touch, sound and brain activity, powered by emotion AI. Emerge's anchor product, Emerge Wave-1 was beta launched in 2022. It allows users to communicate with increased social presence, spend time together, and physically connect with intuitive hand-to-hand tactile contact through mid-air, precise ultrasonic force fields. Soon, Emerge will also enable users to digitize and transmit their emotions in real-time, an approach that aims to establish a new standard for personal connection.
"A few years from now, we'll look back at our current digital interactions the same way we see our carbon emissions today. With 33% of the world population feeling disconnected from others, this loneliness epidemic is already one of the greatest life threats of our time. It's time for a communication platform centered around what truly matters—our emotional connection with others. We are thrilled to partner with Disney to further our mission," said Isaac Castro, Co-CEO at Emerge
Multi-Sensory Communication through Displays of the Present and Future
Emerge is also engaging major consumer electronics brands aiming to set the foundation for the Emerge platform to support Smart TVs, in addition to VR and AR headsets. As the adoption of internet-enabled TVs continues adding use cases such as streaming video, cloud gaming, and video calls, a new mode of interaction and engagement will be enabled through the sense of touch. This enhancement can provide a more immersive user experience, transforming the way viewers interact with digital content and each other, and shaping the future of communication and interactive media.
"The journey to forging a new consumer category isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. Today's announcement is the culmination of years of dedication and hard work of our team. In partnering with Disney, we align ourselves with a brand whose timeless storytelling has captivated audiences for a century. Together, we're poised to transcend the limitations of current communication technology, leveraging the 1.3 billion smart TVs in homes worldwide," said Sly Spencer-Lee, Co-CEO at Emerge

Privacy and Safety Rooted in Transparency
Our personal feelings and emotional connections are our most sacred information. Emerge is committed to safeguard users' privacy and its plans include three main pillars. First, by storing personal data locally on future Emerge devices, while only hosting algorithms in the cloud. Second, by giving users a transparent, graphical view of what data is being collected and where it is being stored. Third, by establishing an Emotional Firewall, handing control back to users. This feature will allow them to dictate what they share, and with whom, with the ability to turn on and off what is communicated—a crucial step towards a secure, personalized emotional connection.

The first step is to introduce touch to virtual interactions in displays of the present and the future—TVs and AR/VR. Emerge Wave-1 is a patented consumer device that emits ultrasound force fields which can be physically felt with bare hands—imagine a "virtual high five" or holding hands across the globe, with no gloves or controllers needed.

由 Emotion AI 提供支持的共享有形體驗,讓用戶通過現在(電視)和未來的顯示屏建立聯繫
洛杉磯, 2023年6月1日 /PRNewswire/ — 建立多感官通信平臺的公司Emerge已與華特迪士尼公司簽署了爲期多年的戰略協議。這種夥伴關係是Emerge的使命向前邁出的重要一步,即在一個正在經歷前所未有的脫節的世界中,爲跨距離和時間的情感聯繫創造一種新的模式。
Bae Hand Tactility 共同開啓體驗迪士尼內容的新方式
與迪士尼建立合作伙伴關係
Emerge與迪士尼的合作將把備受喜愛的內容整合到Emerge的個人連接平臺中。從迪士尼的頂級系列之一開始,粉絲們將能夠在家中舒適地分享多感官體驗並與世界各地的朋友和家人互動。這將使用戶能夠赤手空拳親身感受 “虛擬擊掌” 或他們最喜歡的超級大國,無需手套或控制器。
“對於華特迪士尼公司的許多粉絲來說,最美好的回憶在於我們在過去100年中講述的故事中形成的共同時刻。通過與Emerge的合作,我們很高興能夠利用他們的技術平臺爲這些故事和標誌性時刻增添更深層次的 “感覺”,而這些故事和標誌性時刻只能由他們自己想象——可以直接在家中體驗。” 埃裏克·包蒂斯塔,迪士尼消費品、遊戲和出版總監
個人連接平臺——從觸控開始,由情感人工智能提供支持
生成式人工智能的興起及其與各種感官輸入和輸出的融爲一體,爲爭奪有助於加強跨距離連接的技術開闢了難得的機會。Emerge正在通過視覺、觸覺、聲音和大腦活動構建一個由情感人工智能提供支持的多感官交流平臺。Emerge 的主打產品 Emerge Wave-1 於 2022 年發佈了測試版。它允許用戶通過增加社交影響力進行交流,共度時光,並通過半空中精確的超聲波力場通過直觀的手對手觸覺接觸,進行身體聯繫。很快,Emerge還將使用戶能夠數字化和實時傳遞他們的情感,這種方法旨在爲人際關係建立新的標準。
“幾年後,我們將回顧當前的數字互動,就像我們看待今天的碳排放一樣。世界上有33%的人口感到與他人脫節,這種孤獨感的流行已經是我們這個時代最大的生命威脅之一。現在是建立一個以真正重要的事情——我們與他人的情感聯繫爲中心的交流平臺的時候了。我們很高興能與迪士尼合作進一步推進我們的使命,” 說 艾薩克·卡斯特羅,Emerge 聯席首席執行官
通過展示現在和未來進行多感官交流
Emerge還與主要的消費電子品牌合作,旨在爲Emerge平臺奠定基礎,以支持智能電視以及虛擬現實和增強現實耳機。隨着支持互聯網的電視的採用不斷增加流媒體視頻、雲遊戲和視頻通話等用例,將通過觸覺實現一種新的互動和參與模式。這種增強可以提供更身臨其境的用戶體驗,改變觀衆與數字內容以及彼此互動的方式,塑造通信和互動媒體的未來。
“打造新消費類別的旅程不是短跑;而是一場馬拉松。今天的宣佈是我們團隊多年的奉獻精神和辛勤工作的結晶。通過與迪士尼合作,我們與一個品牌結盟,該品牌的永恆故事在一個世紀以來一直吸引着觀衆。Emerge聯席首席執行官Sly Spencer-Lee說,我們有望共同超越當前通信技術的侷限性,利用全球家庭中的13億臺智能電視
隱私和安全植根於透明度
我們的個人感受和情感聯繫是我們最神聖的信息。Emerge致力於保護用戶的隱私,其計劃包括三個主要支柱。首先,將個人數據存儲在本地未來的 Emerge 設備上,同時僅在雲端託管算法。其次,爲用戶提供透明的圖形化視圖,以瞭解正在收集哪些數據及其存儲位置。第三,通過建立情感防火牆,將控制權交還給用戶。此功能將允許他們決定分享的內容和與誰共享,並能夠打開和關閉所交流的內容,這是朝着安全、個性化的情感聯繫邁出的關鍵一步。
Emerge
Emerge 是一家總部位於洛杉磯的科技公司,通過視覺、聽覺、觸覺和大腦活動,搭建一個多感官通信平臺,通過視覺、聽覺、觸覺和大腦活動來彌合距離和時間,使用戶能夠數字化和傳遞情感。第一步是將觸控引入現在和未來的顯示器——電視和增強現實/虛擬現實——中的虛擬互動。Emerge Wave-1 是一款獲得專利的消費類設備,它發射的超聲波力場可以赤手空拳親身感受到——想象一下 “虛擬擊掌” 或手牽手橫跨全球,無需手套或控制器。
