Founded in February 2011 by Mir Abid Hussain, emo2 Inc. emerged as a technology firm aiming to integrate interactive capabilities into everyday surfaces. Hussain, a serial entrepreneur with a background in Computer Science from Anna University and an MBA from Chennai Business School, previously founded an advertising agency and a product company before establishing emo2. The company's core focus was on developing both hardware and software to create multi-user, touch-interactive experiences on platforms like restaurant tables.
In a significant milestone, the company launched its 'emo2 Anywhere' operating system and a complementary cloud platform at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2013. This system was engineered to facilitate simultaneous interaction for multiple users with numerous applications, a feature designed to enhance collaborative environments. The business model targeted commercial establishments such as cafes, pubs, and restaurants, offering a novel way for these businesses to engage with their customers. A notable early adoption saw Cafe Coffee Day pilot the solution in Bangalore, subsequently leading to a planned deployment of 100 emo2 software-enabled tables across its stores.
The 'emo2 Anywhere' OS was built to be hardware-agnostic, capable of being embedded into various objects like tables and walls, or used on tablets and phones. The technology was developed with affordability in mind, aiming to be competitive with desktop market prices. Beyond the hospitality sector, emo2 envisioned applications for its multi-user, multi-touch interaction model in fields like education, healthcare, and architecture. To foster a broader ecosystem, the company planned to focus on the operating system while encouraging third-party developers to build custom solutions using its SDK and cloud platform.
