Share When it comes to interfacing with virtual reality (VR) worlds currently you really only have the option of physical controllers or very basic hand tracking unless you have the cash to buy expensive gloves. The future could very well be in brain-computer interface’s (BCI) like the one Valve, Tobii, and OpenBCI are currently collaborating on, Galea, with a beta programme slated to launch early next year. Brooklyn-based neurotechnology company OpenBCI its Galea hardware and software platform last year, a combination of mixed reality (MR) headset with state-of-the-art biosensing and brain-computer interfacing (BCI) tech. The device features a wealth of sensors including electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculography (EOG) electromyography (EMG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and photoplethysmography (PPG) to detect human emotions.
