EEGSmart has created a new multi-channel mind control system called Touch, which they launched over on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website to raise $5,000 to help take the wearable brainwave controller into production.
Watch the video below to learn more about the multichannel headset that comes supplied with both an SDK and API for developers to integrate the system into other applications to further its functionality.
Features and Capabilities
The Touch Multi-Channel Mind Control Headset is now available to back with prices starting from just $199 for early bird backers for the headset alone. Or $399 complete with your own drone that can be controlled using just your brainwaves. This innovative device has been designed to provide users with an open head-mounted device that supports both iOS and Android applications. This allows users to interact with flying vehicles, home appliances, and even virtual reality games.
Touch is capable of measuring brainwaves using dry sensors and connects wirelessly to your favorite application via Bluetooth. The headset is equipped with multiple channels to capture a wide range of brainwave activities, making it more accurate and responsive. This multi-channel approach allows for more nuanced control and interaction with connected devices.
Applications and Potential
The potential applications for the Touch headset are vast and varied. For instance, in the realm of virtual reality, users can immerse themselves in games and experiences that respond to their mental commands, creating a more interactive and engaging environment. Imagine playing a VR game where you can move objects or navigate through the game world using only your thoughts.
In the field of home automation, the Touch headset can be used to control smart home devices. For example, you could turn on lights, adjust the thermostat, or even control your home entertainment system without lifting a finger. This could be particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, providing them with greater independence and ease of use.
Another exciting application is in the control of drones. With the Touch headset, users can pilot drones using their brainwaves, opening up new possibilities for aerial photography, surveillance, and even recreational flying. The precision and responsiveness of the multi-channel system make it an ideal tool for such applications.
Moreover, the Touch headset can be a valuable tool in the field of mental health and cognitive training. By monitoring brainwave activity, it can provide insights into a user’s mental state, helping to identify stress, anxiety, or other mental health issues. This data can be used to develop personalized training programs to improve cognitive function and mental well-being.
For developers, the provided SDK and API offer a wealth of opportunities to create new applications and integrations. Whether it’s developing new games, creating innovative home automation solutions, or exploring new uses in healthcare and beyond, the Touch headset provides a versatile platform for innovation.
