OpenBCI are making a new hardware and software platform specifically for immersive headsets called Galea. It is designed to attach to both AR and VR headsets, designed to monitor biometric data streams in real time. It will include electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculography (EOG) electromyography (EMG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, which are intended to measure data from the brain, eyes, heart, skin, and muscles.
Galea will allow researchers and developers to measure human emotions and facial expressions including happiness, anxiety, depression, attention span, and interest level—and use it to create more immersive content tailored to the individual. OpenBCI says it will provide researchers and developers early access to Galea, intended for commercial and research applications. Galea will also include SDKs to bring its stream of biometric data into “common development environments.
