This is the best summary I could come up with:

The deal involves two pieces: first, Sony will highlight Emerge’s ultrasonic tactile device in its smart TV app.

The system is effectively a speaker that fires upward, creating a three-dimension space where users get tactile feedback through concentrated sound.

The Emerge Wave-1 beamforms a forcefield covering beyond the footprint of the device, letting you interact with virtual content wherever your arms can reach.”

The pitch noted that the system — which resembles an electric bathroom scale with hundreds of small holes on top — would be compatible with Meta Quest 2 at launch.

It’s a pitch that clearly struck a chord with Sony, as the hardware giant invests more in products like the Bravia cam — effectively a webcam for smart TVs designed to chat with remote loved ones and take work calls on the big screen.

I was a co-inventor of the Smart TV in 2007, and now I believe we are in another interesting time period where media will become increasingly interactive, and social communication and wellness are two key use cases that we’re eager to provide solutions for, leveraging our trusted brand and potentially category creating products like Emerge.”
