It’s important to know that Wave doesn’t actually change how hot or cold your body is overall. “What it does is it heats and cools one spot on your body and helps you improve your comfort, without changing your core temp.” “It’s a product for people that are too hot or too cold, that offers thermal relief,” explains Embr Labs co-founder Sam Shames. The Waveĭeveloped by a team of MIT grads, the Wave is essentially a wearable heater and cooler that leverages quirks in human physiology to sort of “hack” how your body perceives temperature. I seriously keep a spare towel and a stick of deodorant on hand just in case I ever need to tie my shoes, unplug my monitor, or sneeze more than twice in a row.įor the past few days, however, I haven’t been as bothered by the oppressively high temperatures of the office - and it’s all thanks to a nifty new gadget called the Embr Wave. To be completely honest, I have no clue what the exact temperature is - but I do know that if you engage in any activity that’s more strenuous than sitting at your desk and typing, you almost immediately break into a sweat.

OK, so obviously that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I know this because no matter what season it is or what the weather happens to be like outside, the office is almost always kept at a balmy 5,778 Kelvin. I don’t know who’s in charge of the thermostat at Digital Trends headquarters, but based on how hot they like to keep it here, I’ve concluded that this person was most likely born and raised on surface of the Sun.
