EMBRACE by Sphere

Where Technology Meets the Human Experience

At Sphere, we believe technology should do more than function—it should connect, inspire, and transform. Immersive technology is more than visual. It's emotional. It's interactive. It's transformative.

EMBRACE by Sphere is a dedicated initiative delivering multisensory environments that empower individuals of all abilities. Whether in a classroom, memory care unit, hospital, museum, or living room, EMBRACE brings therapy, education, play, and emotional connection to life—through inclusive, intuitive, and highly adaptable experiences.

From sensory learning rooms and elder care sanctuaries to XR-powered storytelling and public installations, EMBRACE empowers organizations to bridge the gap between innovation and inclusion

These aren’t just rooms. They’re spaces that speak.

Our mission is simple:

To embrace every person with tools that support their growth, healing, and joy.

What Are Immersive Spaces?

Immersive spaces are environments enhanced with interactive projection, lighting, sound, and motion-sensing technology to create dynamic, engaging experiences. These spaces are designed to support a wide range of outcomes, from calming overstimulated children to helping a stroke survivor regain movement, or sparking memory and communication in someone living with dementia.

At their best, these spaces are inclusive by design and transformative in impact —turning everyday rooms into hubs of discovery, dignity, and delight.

Crafted for Purpose. Designed for Impact.

Every environment under the EMBRACE umbrella is built to serve a specific need—but they all share one thing in common:

They are rooted in empathy, driven by innovation, and built for real-world transformation.

Why EMBRACE?

Inclusive by nature – Adaptable for all ages and abilities
Therapeutically driven – Created in collaboration with educators, therapists, and clinicians
Emotionally intelligent – Designed to calm, engage, or stimulate as needed
Technology made human – Intuitive systems that require minimal training and deliver maximum joy

The Seven Pillars of EMBRACE

EMBRACE is more than a name—it’s a framework that reflects the depth and diversity of our immersive solutions.

Elevate

Group Play & Interactive Engagement

These are spaces that spark energy, laughter, and shared connection. Designed for movement, collaboration, and exploration, Elevate rooms bring people together—students, clients, or community members—to experience joy, curiosity, and purposeful play. Whether it’s a dance of color on the floor or a virtual garden blooming under their fingertips, users are encouraged to move, express, and thrive—together.

Meadow

Elder & Memory Care

Meadow environments are gentle sanctuaries designed for those living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or age-related cognitive decline. Calming visuals, nostalgic content, and intuitive interaction create moments of clarity, joy, and emotional connection. These rooms invite residents to reminisce, smile, and engage—not through demanding tasks, but through experiences that meet them where they are, with dignity and warmth.

Bridge

Hospitals & Rehabilitation

Bridge spaces use immersive technology to support healing, therapy, and recovery in hospital and rehab settings. From pediatric distraction tools to stroke rehabilitation programs and occupational therapy exercises, each experience is crafted to make care more human—and more hopeful. These rooms give patients a sense of control, motivation, and engagement in their recovery journey, turning therapy into an empowering experience.

Retreat

In-Home & Family-Based Solutions

Retreat solutions bring immersive experiences into the heart of daily life. Whether calming a child after school, creating moments of connection during therapy, or providing a peaceful routine for a loved one with memory loss, Retreat systems are small in footprint but huge in impact. Designed for use on beds, tables, floors, or even wheelchair trays, these systems make it easy for families to access emotional support, sensory regulation, and joy at home.

Anchor

Special Needs Education & Therapy

Anchor rooms are structured, supportive environments where neurodiverse learners can regulate, explore, and thrive. With experiences tailored to support speech development, emotional understanding, physical coordination, and sensory needs, these rooms turn technology into a bridge to connection. Teachers and therapists gain a versatile, intuitive toolset to engage students who might otherwise be hard to reach—without overstimulation or overwhelm.

Commons

Community & Public Installations

Commons spaces transform libraries, museums, youth centers, and cultural institutions into inclusive, sensory-rich destinations. These installations welcome users of all ages and abilities to participate in meaningful, multi-sensory engagement—no training, no barriers. Whether it's a virtual paint wall or a story garden that responds to movement, Commons makes accessibility a shared experience, not a special request.

Expand

XR Innovation & Custom AV Installations

Expand is where bold ideas become immersive realities. This pillar represents Sphere’s most innovative work—projection mapping, XR storytelling, and fully customized AV systems designed for enterprise, brand, museum, or cultural applications. Whether you're building a one-of-a-kind exhibit or integrating interactive technology into a flagship space, Expand brings together imagination, engineering, and empathy to deliver unforgettable experiences that move people—and move the world forward.
