Title:


    A Brain-computer Interface for Extended Reality Interfaces

Presenter(s):


Description:


    Extended reality (XR) technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), remain limited in their interaction modalities. Prevailing interaction methods such as hand gestures and voice recognition prove awkward in XR environments, even when performing common tasks (e.g., object selection, menu navigation, and others). In contrast, an ideal interaction method would robustly and naturally translate a user’s intention into both 2D and 3D environmental controls. A direct brain-computer interface (BCI) system is ideally situated to accomplish this. Neurable’s technology provides a solution to maximize XR’s potential, affording users real-time mental selection via dry electroencephalography (EEG).
