MENTAGRAPH Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; a wholly owned subsidiary of JT Inc.) made itsdebut at CES® 2026, held from January 6 to 9, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the event, the company introduced its latest experiences designed to help people notice and live with their own emotional rhythm and daily condition through calm, human-centered technology.
Throughout the four-day exhibition, visitors from around the world stopped by the MENTAGRAPH booth to explore the company’s ideas and experience its products firsthand.Many expressed interest in MENTAGRAPH’s distinctive perspective — one that focuses on gentle awareness of daily condition rather than performance, diagnosis, or optimization.
In recent years, global interest in well-being has continued to grow, and CES 2026 featured awide range of technologies aimed at understanding daily condition through data. While many approaches focus on sleep, activity, or productivity metrics, MENTAGRAPH offered a different viewpoint: paying attention to subtle changes in daily condition during daytime activities, when people are engaged in work and everyday life.
MENTAGRAPH’s experiences are designed not simply to visualize data, but to support moments of pause and rest in ways that feel natural and respectful. By combining gentle sensing through the Mentoring 2 smart ring with short, restorative rest experiences enabled by the Relaxonic Cover eye mask, the company presented an integrated approach that supports awareness and recovery— quietly and without labels or judgments.
CES 2026 Exhibition Highlights
■ Mentoring 2: A Smart Ring That Visualizes Emotional Rhythm
Mentoring 2, unveiled globally for the first time at CES 2026, drew strong interest from visitors who experienced the ring and learned about its concept.
Designed for use during daytime activities, Mentoring 2 visualizes emotional rhythm and daily condition, helping individuals notice subtle shifts that often go unnoticed during busy routines.
Visitors described Mentoring 2 as “a new perspective for smart rings” and noted its relevance to moments of focus, transition, and pause during work. Many conversations centered on how such gentle awareness could support more sustainable ways of working and living.
The ring’s form, created by NAOTO FUKASAWA DESIGN, was also highly regarded for its quiet elegance and suitability for both professional and everyday settings. In addition, CES provided opportunities for meaningful new conversations with companies and creators from Japan and abroad, opening paths toward future collaboration grounded in shared values.
■ Relaxonic Cover: Creating Moments of Rest in a Busy Environment
Relaxonic Cover, a speed-rest eye mask combining gentle warmth and immersive sound withultra-high-frequency hypersonic sounds, was experienced by many visitors at the booth.
Even within a five-minute session, visitors reported a sense of calm and release, describing the experience as an opportunity to step away from stimulation and reconnect with their own condition.
Amid the energy of the CES show floor, the MENTAGRAPH booth was often described as a brief place of pause—a quiet space where visitors could rest before returning to the exhibition. While Relaxonic Cover is already available in Japan, interest from international visitors suggested its resonance across cultures and contexts.
