Emotiv is a neurotechnology company that develops and manufactures wearable ultra-portable EEG Brainwear®. Emotiv was founded in 2011 and has the mission to “empower individuals to understand their brain and accelerate brain research globally.”
Product Demonstrations Of EEG Brainwear® For Emotive
A Scalextric tabletop track could be used by up to four users at a time. Two members of the public could volunteer to wear the headset at a time, and each was assisted by our team of product demo/sampling specialists in doing so. The headset wearers could power the movement of the cars using their brain signals and stop the movement when their thoughts were in a neutral state.
Discover Our Promotional Staffing Services
Our team of promo staffing specialists did an excellent job of supporting and showcasing The Small Robot Company’s agricultural robots. Our team helped make the experience memorable for children by supervising them whilst they drove their very own remote-control cars. Fun graphical stickers were handed out featuring the weeds Dick the Robot was speedily zapping in the nearby field.
Emotiv’s tabletop track went down a blast with attendees of the Goodwood Festival of Speed with both adults (including our staff) and enthusiastic children! Our friendly promo staff helped ensure the correct fit of the EEG Brainwear® on the public and guided them through the process of how to control the movement of the cars using the power of their brain signals as part of our product demo service.
Throughout the four-day festival our dependable team did an excellent job of engaging attendees with the new and exciting technology developed by The Small Robot company and Emotiv by educating them on how the products work, the benefits they hold for the future of motor vehicles and why they are technologies worth investing in.
