Emteq Labs Unveils World's First AI-Powered Emotion-Sensing Glasses
Emteq Labs, the leading company in emotion-recognition wearable technology, has announced its groundbreaking product, Sense—the world’s first emotion-sensing eyewear. This revolutionary AI-powered device aims to provide real-time, lab-quality insights into facial expressions, mood, eating habits, posture, and other critical health-related metrics. The launch marks a major milestone in wearable technology, offering users unprecedented access to personal health insights outside of controlled environments.
At the forefront of this innovation is Emteq Labs’ new CEO, Steen Strand, former head of Snap Inc.'s hardware division. Under his leadership, the company is poised to redefine how we interact with technology through its cutting-edge emotion-sensing eyewear.
Breakthrough in Emotion-Sensing Wearables
Sense, Emteq’s newest AI-powered platform, is designed to track facial muscle activity using contactless sensors. This emotion-sensing eyewear captures subtle facial movements, logging real-time data such as dietary habits and mood fluctuations. Through AI/ML algorithms, the eyewear delivers detailed health insights, which can be securely transferred to the user’s Sense app, providing full control over data sharing with clinicians, trainers, or researchers.
"Since founding Emteq Labs in 2015, we have been on a mission to improve lives through a deeper understanding of our emotional responses," said Dr. Charles Nduka, founder and Chief Science Officer. Sense’s ability to monitor daily behaviors makes it a game-changer for mental health, weight management, and beyond.
Transforming Health Insights
Emotion-sensing eyewear like Sense has the potential to address significant global health challenges. The World Health Organization estimates that over 1 billion people live with obesity, while 970 million face mental health issues. By offering insights into the emotions driving behaviors, Sense can improve diagnostic accuracy for conditions like depression, anxiety, and autism.
Research published in the Journal of Medical Internal Research confirms Sense’s ability to accurately track eating habits, while another study in Frontiers in Psychiatry shows its promise in remote mental health assessments.
CEO Steen Strand’s Vision for the Future
Steen Strand, Emteq’s new CEO, believes that emotion-sensing eyewear is the next frontier for wearables. "Having spent my career at the intersection of innovation and consumer products, I can confidently assert that Emteq will transform the smart eyewear landscape," Strand said.
Strand brings extensive experience from his time leading SnapLab, where he developed Snap Inc.’s augmented reality Spectacles. With Emteq, he envisions creating compelling use cases for emotion-sensing eyewear, proving its health benefits in everyday settings.
Available Soon: Sense Development Kit
The Sense development kit will be available to commercial partners in December, enabling further exploration of emotion-sensing eyewear applications. With its AI-driven platform, Emteq Labs continues to push the boundaries of how wearables impact health and wellness.
