Emerge is a consumer technology company building a future where distance and time don’t stand in the way of feeling present and being connected. Starting with the sense of touch and emotion sharing in the virtual world, the Emerge Wave series (beta launched in 2022) emits ultrasound forcefields to create tactile sensations users can feel with bare hands – no gloves or controllers needed. Founded in 2015 and based in Los Angeles, Emerge is backed by venture capital firms including M13, Vulcan Capital, Eric Schmidt, Matthew Ball, and the co-founders of Blizzard Entertainment, Twitch and Riot Games.
