Description
Dark Maze is a playful exploration of the openBCI platform to create new human-computer interactions. Using “mind control,” our user can navigate through various tilt mazes in the physical world, without lifting a hand.
The openBCI software and hardware can read electrical signals from the brain, muscles and heart (EEG, EMG, and ECG, respectively).
To feign “mind control,” our user wears a headset which reads EEG, EMG and accelerometer data.
To initiate the maze, the user must “focus” and demonstrate high alpha waves to illuminate the otherwise “dark maze.”
When the lights turn on, the user can see the path ahead, and use hands-free control to progress.
To control movement within the maze, eye blinks trigger EMG signals which moves the ball left or right. To trigger up and down, the user tilts their head forward and backward.
