German electronic engineering company Covestro, announced that it had collaborated with Embr Labs on a smart bracelet that can make the wearer feel warmer or colder by 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Covestro, who has its North America headquarters in Pittsburgh will be exhibiting with us at the WT | Wearable Technologies Show MEDICA 2019.
The device, called Embr Wave, allows people to hack the way they feel temperature. According to Embr Labs, the bracelet’s scientifically developed waveforms leverages the body’s natural systems to precisely stimulate the wearer’s thermoreceptors, making them feel cooler or warmer by 5 degrees in just a few minutes, says a press release.
Covestro is spotlighting applications utilizing its polycarbonates tailored to electronics, IT and communications applications at CES 2019.
Embr Labs conducted years of iterative prototyping and customer testing to develop this product. When it came time for the production design, the company wanted to use a frosted light pipe with LEDs as the primary user interface.
“We turned to Covestro to help select the right material and optimize the design for optical performance,” explains Embr Labs cofounder Sam Shames.
Covestro will host Embr Labs at its exhibit at the CES 2019 Conference and Exposition, January 8-11, in Las Vegas. Visitors can stop by the booth located in the Eureka Park Marketplace (Sands, Hall G – 52934) to learn more about Covestro’s materials and technical expertise for consumer technologies.
