About Emteq Labs
Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionise research into human behaviour. In the past, studies were either performed in settings that did not match reality or involved use of multiple disparate sensors and wet electrodes, a time-consuming process to set up and uncomfortable for the subject.
emteq labs is the market-leader in wearable technology to monitor and translate human intent and expression into credible and actionable feedback about behaviour, tailored to your project.
