Tech Ecosystem:
Atopia, The Nexus, and EmPath
Hands-free control with Atopia smart shirts.
The Nexus game engine interprets real time emotional state data.
EmPath: emotional context and safety middleware for ethically aligned AI agents, built on real human biosignals.
We embed our stack into existing products, from training tools to immersive interactive environments and experiences.

Atopia Smart Shirts
Atopia Sensor Modules are patented multimodal wearable sensors that have a unique “placement-agnostic” design. Each Sensor Module is identical, but it can be placed in different parts of the garment to measure different psychophysiological biosignals. Atopia Sensor Modules are embedded in the Atopia Smart Shirt. Modules can be easily removed, allowing the Smart Shirt to be washed.
The Atopia Smart Shirt is the interface used to play “The Nexus“, an an immersive virtual world that players interact with hands-free. It is also used to train EmPath, our AI software.
Atopia is available for integration into 3rd party products.

The Nexus Gaming
The Nexus is a game, developed with C# in Unity. It is fun to play all on its own… but it also contains embedded Scenarios that cover a wide range of possible interactions and emotional responses.
The Nexus collects psychophysiological data which can be combined with passive data from video (eyes, facial expressions), voice, keyboard usage patterns, and more.
All of this data is designed to be converted into Affective State Vectors (ASVs) and Probabilistic Emotional States (PESs), which are associated with each Scenario and used to grow a database that maps Scenarios to PESs.
The Nexus is available for integration into 3rd party products.

EmPath AI
EmPath is designed as an “affect layer” that receives the database fed by The Nexus, using it to guide its behavior.
It is model-agnostic and intended to be plugged into LLM agents, planners, and game AIs alike.
User (not wearing sensors) queries Agent. Agent compares query to Nodes and Pathways in biometrics database, looking for closest match.
Agent evaluates PESs and Pathways choosing a potential response that minimizes harm based on both bottom-up emotional consequences to user as well as top-down ethical rules.
EmPath AI is coming soon!
