The VR industry is brimmed with futuristic [[headsets]], [[haptic sensors]], and [[motion tracking controllers]]. What it sorely needs right now is the capability to channel human thoughts into the virtual world itself. Open BCI, while not directly involved in the VR industry, may provide just the system to do so.
