Lots of interesting things going on in VR again. Well, it is if you have a lot of money to throw in a bottomless pit, but that besides the point. The big question is have you ever wanted to gain superpowers and control objects with the power of your mind? You sure have!
4 I Lab studio has a solution. Not so long ago the team got a brain sensing headband that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to record the electrical activity of brain cell groups. Using readings of this headband they can tell if the person that is using it is focused or relaxed.
During recent AVRA Days Minsk 30 hour non stop hackathon the team decided to make a game that will use this technology as a controller. The most obvious idea was to use concentration to control superpowers.
The easy choice was to chose telekinesis, so that players will be able to feel like superheroes, levitating people from a bus that is hanging from a destroyed bridge. To grab a person or an object they must focus on it, and then, using their sight, carry it to the destination point, where they release it by relaxing.
This game was made only to prove the concept, but it shows the high potential of combining VR and neural interface technology and it was awarded in the Best VR for Business nomination on AVRA Days Minsk Hackathon.
