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. | The VR industry is brimmed with futuristic [[headsets]], [[haptic sensors]], and [[motion tracking controllers]].

Securing over $168,000 in a Kickstarter campaign, OpenBCI created a low-cost EEG sensing board that captures brain signal into digital data. It targets researchers, makers, and hobbyist all over the world | Securing over $168,000 in a Kickstarter campaign, OpenBCI created a low-cost [[EEG]] sensing board that captures brain signal into digital data.

The Cyton biosensing board is the primary data acquisition board for the OpenBCI platform. It’s powered by the PIC32 microcontroller and featured 8 channels of biodata input. Open BCI Cyton has a 24-bit resolution ADC chip with a 16kHz sample rate. It also supports wireless communication for data transfer. It can be connected to PC through a USB to serial FTDI chip. | The Cyton biosensing board is the primary data acquisition board for the OpenBCI platform.
