For VR: PiEEG XR measures brain activity in real time - Notebookcheck News
Reviews<br>← exclude selected types<br>← exclude selected tags
The PiEEG XR is a new interface for XR and therefore also for applications such as VR. It is essentially an input device that functions as an EEG system. The abbreviation stands for electroencephalography and ultimately refers to the measurement of brain activity. It should be noted right away that the system will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign and is not necessarily a typical consumer product. Instead, it is also aimed at makers and researchers. APIs and SDKs are intended to allow use in a wide range of contexts and without strict manufacturer specifications. The project is also backed by Ildar Rakhmatulin, a recognized expert in this field who has already attempted to bring other projects to market.
At the hardware level, the PiEEG XR is essentially a replacement face cushion. Electrodes are built into it, which are then responsible for measuring brain activity. Data processing is handled by ironbci, which can record 250 data points per second. This should also enable high temporal resolution. Communication takes place via Bluetooth, which should be very practical in the era of fully wireless VR headsets such as the Pico 4 Ultra that we have already tested. The system will be available as the PiEEG XR Mask, as a research kit with ironbci and as an all-in-one version for consumers. Native VRChat compatibility is advertised.

Editor of the original article: Silvio Werner - Senior Tech Writer - 17361 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2017<br>I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.<br>contact me via: silvio39191, LinkedIn
Translator: Enrico Frahn - Senior Tech Writer - 7841 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2021<br>My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.<br>contact me via: LinkedIn
