Emaww is a non-intrusive emotion AI that analyzes gestures to accurately detect emotion and understand user experience.

You haven’t heard this here first, but — smartphones are an integral part of our lives.

From the minute our alarm goes off in the morning we touch our phones and ‘login’. We open up our email or Slack channel, do a quick guided yoga session, book an Uber to work (or track our steps), scroll through Instagram, chat with friends and family, listen to music and so much more; We learn new languages, buy furniture, order groceries, swipe right on potentially cute dates, book vacations, meet our virtual doctor, meditate and bank. The list is literally endless! We connect, grow and augment our lives by way of clicks, scrolls and taps on our screens, trackpads and mice.

We connect, grow and augment our lives by way of clicks, scrolls and taps on our screens, trackpads and mice.

The philosophy behind Emaww’s mandate comes from the work and legacy of Dr. Manfred Clynes and his theory of movement as a vessel for emotion. In the 1970’s, Dr. Clynes discovered discernible patterns in the expression of emotions through movement. Emaww CEO, Dr. Alicia Heraz worked under the tenured mentorship of Dr. Clynes for many years to absorb his expertise in the way emotions are expressed through body movements.

Dr. Clynes insight and guidance helped Dr. Heraz adopt and combine this theory with her knowledge in software engineering and artificial intelligence to develop ground-breaking algorithms that map emotions by way of gestures on touchscreen devices.

 algorithm analyzes gestures only with +95% accuracy. Our software does not record users' eyes, voice or face. Gestures are analysed based solely on the way users connect with their screen, mouse or trackpad while interacting with content online.

 algorithm analyzes gestures only with +95% accuracy.

When we’re frustrated with a login button that won’t work, or baffled by an irrational rant on social media, this translates in our reactive gestures. The way we touch our screen, mouse or trackpad reveals our emotions. Our excitement while browsing the online Zara sale translates as we tap eagerly on promo codes. The boredom that ensues while reading a long-ass article about the benefits of staying organized translates as we scroll lethargically through the text. We express our emotions in the way we browse and absorb digital content. A detailed study of this research is published in the 

We express our emotions in the way we browse and absorb digital content.

Any business or organization that incorporates Emaww’s emotion AI in their analytics is 

 to ask for end-users’ consent via cookies before collecting and using their data. Once the user permits, their gestures’ data is collected to better understand their likes and dislikes allowing businesses and organizations to optimize their content and improve their design to please users and enhance their overall emotional experience.

Our unique emotional indexes, highly granular emotional insight and improvement recommendations will help you develop strategy, foster growth, reduce churn and increase conversion.

At Emaww, we believe that if users can share their naturally occurring and instantaneous emotions through their gestures; their favourite apps and websites can provide them with rich, targeted experiences that are emotionally aligned to their predispositions and preferences without invading their privacy.

As users, none of us want boring or stressful experiences. At the same time, we do not always send a message to customer support when our favourite publisher starts sharing dull articles we couldn’t care less about, or when a static ‘enter’ button will not grant us access to our accounts. What we do is unsubscribe from the mailing list and hit that ‘enter’ button 3–4 times with the maximum strength our index finger can muster, hoping it will miraculously let us enter! (This is even more annoying than autocorrect)

We also want to receive personalized recommendations and experiences based on things we browsed with awe and interest, not based on things we happened to click on this one time. We want the businesses we support to relate to our needs and desires as consumers.

Using Emaww’s cutting-edge biological sensor now we can communicate how we feel without having to go out of our way; we can express what we like to read, what we’re interested in buying, what frustrates us and more. The emotional feedback garnered from the analysis of our gestures helps product and service owners improve the experiences they create for us. What do we have to do? Nothing! Well nothing other than continue interacting with the content we access online as we would normally. Take a look at the article by John Koetsier published in 

 for more on the ways Emaww analytics can be leveraged to bolster business operations.

Emotional awareness for enterprise and people

Our vision is to empower people and enterprise with emotional intelligence and in this effort we value all stakeholders equally. We are committed to creating a respectful network where emotional feedback can be shared. We envision a world where one day our devices can act as wellness guides that promote emotional awareness.

Whether you are a product owner wondering how you can capitalize on gesture emotion analytics or an end-user who wants to become more emotionally aware, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team will get back to you at the earliest available opportunity.

Emaww Story and the Genius of Manfred Clynes

Love. With apologies to the Beatles, it may not be all you need. But it is absolutely what a brand wants every customer to feel for them.

Yet the difficult question remains: how does a Marketing Executive measure and quantify “love” in the context of their consumers? In our personal relationships, love doesn’t lend itself to objective analysis; that’s why it is the stuff of poems and country songs, not statistics and textbooks. But for brands, there is an answer from a company called 

I have had the pleasure of working with Emaww for about a year now. The company name is constructed from its mandate – Emotion + Awe. It is the brainchild of its brilliant CEO 

 and is a non-intrusive emotion measuring AI that analyzes consumer gestures on devices to accurately detect emotion at scale. Emaww translates the way consumers scroll on their phones or move their desktop mouse into what they are feeling at the moment they experience something online. That something can be an ad, a website, or some content piece like a blog post.

The philosophy behind Emaww comes from the work of 

 and his theory of movement as a vessel for emotion. In the 1970’s, Dr. Clynes discovered discernible patterns in the expression of emotions through movement. Heraz worked under the tenured mentorship of Dr. Clynes for years and translated his expertise into patented algorithms that measure the way emotions are expressed through digital and physical movements.

It is one of the most exciting breakthroughs I have seen in measuring consumer behavior, intent, and (above all) love for a brand.

To date, consumer emotions have been measured through a poor set of proxy measures for a long, long, (too long) time. Views. Click-through rates. The kind of surface measures we can conveniently collect at scale. Yet these metrics don’t tell us anything about the underlying relationship that ads have fostered. What’s more, as online media and video inventory has fragmented, legacy, cookie-based metrics like these have become less reliable. These metrics were premised on the consumer’s opportunity or potential to view an ad, but they never did measure actual engagement. They were never able to explain how someone who experienced the content actually 

Attention-based metrics offer an improvement on behavior measurement by focusing on impact. That impact is not binary. People can pay more or less attention to a video or static content, and attention-based metrics help quantify the level of attention paid to determine which content has the most impact and creates the highest level of brand lift and engagement.

Extensive research shows that certain attributes of an ad determine the potential attention a user pays to that ad, which correlates to its impact. These attributes include:

Duration: How long was the ad on the user’s screen while it was playing?

Audibility: Was the sound on or did the user turn it on when the video ad played?

Player-size: What size video player did the ad appear in? Did that player resize during playback?

Location: Where on the page was the video player displayed? If the user scrolled, did the ad mover?

Certain metrics that are intuitively indicative of ad quality and potential attention have a high correlation to awareness and consideration. While I was at Google, our marketing team determined that CIVA (Complete In View and Audible) is the metric that consistently demonstrated the highest correlation to brand lift. Why is that? Because watching a video with sound (the A for “audible” in CIVA) is a more emotionally rich experience than what you get from a muted ad that scrolls through your feed.

Yet attention metrics, like traditional measures, are not enough. They are an improvement in the way that a rowboat and one good oar is to a person lost at sea. What an advertiser astray in an ocean of consumer data really needs is an understanding of consumers’ 

 response to the ads and content they produce.

As IP counsel for Emaww, we are thrilled to share an exciting development in emotion detection technology. Emaww, has secured a groundbreaking patent titled "

Detecting Emotions from Micro-Expressive Free-Form Movements

." The invention protected by the patent holds the potential to revolutionize how we interact with our devices, enabling them to understand our emotions through subtle, almost imperceptible, physical cues. Today, we are pleased to share fascinating details of this patent and explore how it could reshape our technological landscape.

The Heart of the Patent: Understanding Human Emotions

At its core, this patent describes advanced computerized methods and systems designed to predict human emotions based on biometric data collected from subtle body movements. This isn't about reading facial expressions or voice tones but rather focusing on micro-expressive movements—tiny, often unconscious movements that can reveal our emotional state.

How It Works: The Mechanics Behind Emotion Detection

At a high level, the process begins with a computing system receiving initial data that captures the movements of a specific part of the body over a period. This could be anything from the way the user’s hands move while they’re talking or interacting with communication devices to the slight shifts in their posture as they sit.

Data Collection: The system collects first data indicating these movements, which evolve over time.

Predictive Models: It then accesses second data containing predictive models. These models are built using historical data, correlating certain movements with specific emotions.

Pattern Recognition: Through sophisticated pattern recognition or machine learning algorithms, the system analyzes the collected movement data.

Emotion Prediction: By comparing the current movement data with the predictive models, the system determines which default emotion (such as happiness, sadness, anger, etc.) the user is expressing.

Data Transmission: Finally, the system provides this emotion data to a communication device, such as a smartphone or wearable device or a computer, enabling real-time feedback and/or analysis about the detected emotion.

Practical Applications: From Personal Devices to Healthcare

The implications of this technology are vast and diverse. A few potential applications include:

Personal Devices: Imagine your smartphone or wearable detecting that you’re feeling stressed based on your interactions with the device, and automatically suggesting a meditation session or calming music playlist.

Healthcare: Emotion detection can play a crucial role in monitoring mental health, offering insights to therapists about a patient's emotional state over time without invasive questioning.

Customer Service: Companies could use this technology to gauge customer satisfaction in real-time, improving service and responsiveness.

Education: Educators could receive feedback on students’ engagement and emotions, allowing for more tailored and effective teaching methods.

The Future Is Emotional: Embracing Technology with Empathy

This protected invention represents a leap forward in human-computer interaction. By enabling devices to understand our emotions through micro-expressive movements, we can create more empathetic technology.

How Our Devices Might Soon Understand Our Emotions

In a world where websites battle for every second of your attention, new research has unveiled a game-changing discovery: your first click could determine how long you stay engaged with a website. This first-ever study to validate the predictive power of emotion-based gesture analysis has shown that users’ initial impressions—captured through subtle interactions like clicks, scrolls, and swipes—are the key to unlocking deeper insights into user engagement.

 tracking the behavior of nearly 4,000 visitors on an e-commerce platform, the team at Emaww AI has confirmed what many suspected but no one could prove—your gestures in the first moments on a website reveal your true emotional response to it. And that response might just predict whether you'll stay or leave.

For years, companies have tracked how many people visit their site. What they couldn’t track—until now—was why those users were engaging with their platforms in the first place. Emaww's proprietary first-impression metric, built using advanced machine learning models, can now measure users' emotional responses with incredible accuracy, thanks to gesture analysis.

“We are thrilled to report that with a single input, a first-impression score derived from gestures, we can now predict user engagement with astonishing precision,” said the research team. The study’s model boasted a low error margin of 1.6 MAE (Mean Absolute Error), proving how closely its predictions align with real-world data. This level of accuracy, which was previously unheard of in the field of emotion-driven analytics, is poised to revolutionize how companies understand and cater to their audiences.

The study analyzed 3,797 unique visitors and their behaviors—such as clicking, swiping, scrolling, and tapping—on mobile and desktop platforms. These seemingly simple actions hold the key to understanding a user's emotional state as they first encounter a product or service. According to the research, five distinct levels of emotional response were identified, all of which showed a strong correlation with the user's overall experience and their likelihood of continued engagement.

It’s like reading between the lines of someone’s first impression. Your body language online is just as telling as it is in person, and we've found a way to measure it.

By decoding these emotional responses, businesses can tailor their web content to resonate more with their audience, potentially increasing sales and customer retention. Gone are the days of vague metrics like bounce rate. This breakthrough research gives platforms the ability to see exactly how their design, text, visuals, and overall layout make visitors feel—and to adjust accordingly.

A New Era for Website Design and Marketing

For e-commerce websites and online businesses, this discovery means that brands can now assess their website’s impact even before it goes live to the public. By measuring how early visitors feel about the design, text, and layout, platforms can be fine-tuned for maximum engagement before they’re even launched.

“Every platform can now evolve in real-time, based on how users respond emotionally,” said the authors. “Whether it’s tweaking the visuals, adjusting the layout, or revising the content, these insights will help shape a more personalized, emotionally intelligent digital experience for everyone.”

While the study has uncovered groundbreaking results, the researchers admit there’s still room for growth. The study didn’t account for differences in age or gender, as participants didn’t share demographic information. However, future work will explore how emotional responses differ across various groups, which could further refine the personalization of websites based on demographic trends.

This first-of-its-kind insight has opened the door to a new era in web design, marketing, and customer engagement, where brands can finally understand what truly drives users from the moment they click in.

For now, one thing is clear: websites that tap into the emotional landscape of their users will not only hold their attention but also win their loyalty.

Our study has revealed that your first click, swipe, or scroll on a website can predict how long you'll stay engaged. For the first time, we have used emotion-based gesture analysis to show that these initial actions reflect your emotional response—and this response can significantly influence your entire experience on the site. Our study, conducted over 53 weeks with nearly 4,000 users, offers new insights for businesses to tailor their websites based on real-time emotional feedback, creating more personalized and engaging digital experiences.

How Your First Click Can Reveal Exactly How You Feel About a Website

In today’s fast-paced digital world, checking off our whole to-do list can be a daunting task. We chase productivity and the satisfaction of following through with our plans but oftentimes trying to put together all the wellness and productivity advice out there is counterproductive. Amid the constant information overload and being online almost all waking hours of the day, one crucial skill that can help us gain more clarity is emotional awareness. By tuning into our emotional states, we develop a better understanding of our mental health, become better equipped to make more informed decisions, and enhance our energy and concentration, so that completing our task list does not feel like a mental execution. 

The Importance of Emotional Triggers in a Digital World

As our reliance on digital devices grows, understanding our reactions to what is being thrown at us online becomes more and more important. As social media, emails, news, and other alarming and overwhelming information sources are growing inseparable from our chats with friends and a mindfulness journal, being aware of the emotional dynamics and consequences of such a lifestyle is mandatory to maintain good mental health.

Emotion AI tracking is one of the most powerful tools we can use to develop emotional awareness and learn to manage our moods and behaviours. Research shows that being aware of our emotions allows us to respond to them more effectively, reducing the risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. This kind of tracking can also provide insights into how different digital environments affect our mood and find out if we tend to experience a lot of positive emotions and spend a lot of time on sites that disrupt our workflow, or the opposite, if sites we want to engage with more for a particular task are evoking negative feelings. Tracking emotions online helps us identify patterns, recognize triggers and develop coping strategies, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling digital experience. In this article, we’ll explore why emotion tracking is essential for improving digital well-being and productivity.

Emotion AI tracking is one of the most powerful tools we can use to develop emotional awareness and learn to manage our moods and behaviours. 

Emotional Awareness: The Key to Mental Wellbeing


Emotional awareness is the ability to identify and label our emotions, helping us understand and manage feelings that can sometimes be unpleasant or distressing. According to the developmental cognitive neuroscientist 

, high emotional awareness helps us respond to and regulate our emotions more effectively. Conversely, low emotional awareness is associated with an increased risk of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. This awareness contributes to better interpersonal relationships as we become more empathetic and understanding of others' emotional states as well. Recognizing our own emotional state can prevent us from making impulsive decisions that we might later regret, and potentially save us time and money.

By becoming more emotionally aware, we can better manage our responses to various situations, reducing the likelihood of being overwhelmed by negative mood states. This heightened awareness enables us to recognize patterns in our emotional responses, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. For instance, understanding that certain times of day or specific online activities trigger stress can help us structure our routines to minimize these triggers. Ultimately, emotional awareness is a crucial skill that enhances our overall mental health and well-being, providing a foundation for navigating the complexities of modern life and how we feel. It empowers us to be proactive about our mental health, seeking support when necessary and implementing strategies to maintain emotional balance, as well as to experience emotions more fully, increasing our overall life satisfaction.

According to the developmental cognitive neuroscientist 

, high emotional awareness helps us respond to and regulate our emotions more effectively. 

study by Hollis, Konrad, and Whittaker (2015)

 found that participants who logged the emotional consequences of their behaviours were more successful in changing unwanted habits like smoking or overeating, compared to those who were only focused on objective results. The emotion-focused approach helped to engage with negative emotions on unsuccessful days, and increased insight which motivated change. This indicates that understanding the emotional impact of our actions can be a powerful motivator for adopting healthier behaviours. This is an element that is often lacking in motivational advice, as it disregards our emotions and puts all emphasis on action until a result is achieved even if we hate what we are doing. Sadly, more often than not such an approach to motivation fails.

It seems that emotions uncover important aspects of our learning that we can leverage to improve information retention.

Moreover, emotion tracking enhances learning outcomes and workplace productivity. A case study 

 showed that tracking students’ emotions in class helped identify patterns indicating learning difficulties, leading to improved academic results. These findings are relevant for anyone looking to grasp a new subject but struggling to understand how they feel in the process. It seems that emotions uncover important aspects of our learning that we can leverage to improve information retention. Similarly, 

 highlighted the impact of emotional intelligence on employee performance, showing that higher emotional awareness is linked to greater motivation, productivity, and commitment. These findings underscore the importance of developing emotional awareness and integrating emotion tracking into our daily lives to foster both personal and professional growth. In the workplace, this can translate to better team dynamics, improved communication, and a more harmonious work environment, while in personal life, it is key to improved clarity on our personal goals and motivation to achieve them.

Self-emotion tracking offers multiple benefits for digital well-being and productivity. By becoming more aware of our emotions, we can better manage our stress responses, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. This, in turn, leads to improved mental health, better learning outcomes, and increased productivity at work. Emotion tracking empowers us to make informed decisions about all aspects of our lives, ultimately leading to a healthier life balance.
