A pair of eyeglasses that embody a contemporary frame design, integrating sensors in a refined and differentiated manner to elegantly showcase EMTEQ Labs’ core technology. The lowered temple arms, minimal soft contours, and consistent front frame thickness contribute to a modern yet understated look—one that feels wearable, not showy.

How might we design smart glasses that seamlessly integrate into the world of everyday eyewear while visibly expressing EMTEQ Labs' core sensing technology in an elegant, non-intrusive way?

Emteq Labs develops smart glasses equipped with facial and biometric sensors to monitor emotions and behavior. Their technology supports research and clinical applications by providing real-world data insights.
designing discreet intelligence
EMTEQ Labs' core sensor technology is seamlessly integrated into the inner side of the temple arm, maintaining a soft, approachable shape language throughout. The camera lens mirrors this "squircle" softness, blending in visually as just another sensor rather than standing out as a traditional camera. This subtle treatment helps reduce the visual prominence of the camera, aiming to increase social acceptance and comfort for those wearing the glasses.
