Calm Social Gaming

We'd like to add Calm to the current wave of casual social gaming. Rather than killing times, Calm Social Gaming is about fun ways to help loved ones maintain social awareness and emotional connectedness. It's not about earning badges and achieving goals. It's about providing a place for loved one to hangout, bridge gaps in time and distance as well as technology culture (don't we all have best friends who refuse to use Facebook?) It's about maintaining connectedness, encouraging the kind of spontaneous communications that actually make people feel good, BUT without intruding and chaining people to the game plays.

Emotional Communications

While modern communication devices allow us to be instantly connected with one another, many of these devices fail to promote or deepen our intimacy with the people we love who are away from us. Many among us consider communication by email or text messages as shallow and lacking in depth. These limitations are heightened when the multi-generational families are dispersed over a wide distance and technology gaps widen between age groups.
Here at Emota we look at awareness technologies and similar devices that foster intimacy beyond the barriers of time and space. We offer products that promote emotional connections, and make us aware of the moods of the people we love even if they live apart from us.
When we refer to emotional communications, we talk about the use of familiar objects that connect individuals with one another and encourage them to communicate spontaneously. These devices are subtle, unobtrusive, and simple to operate.

Awareness Systems

An Awareness System is one that allows people to be aware of each others' situation, activities or status even if they live far apart from one another. This system was originally developed as support for individuals who are working on or doing the same activity at different locations. Awareness Systems are now used to facilitate social interaction between individuals and promote these relationships even for long periods of time.
