The head of video game giant Valve has revealed that the company is working on a way to connect human brains to computers to revolutionize gaming and fundamentally alter human experience. Valve is working with neuroscience platform OpenBCI to develop an open-source brain-computer interface (BCI) software. One of the goals is to allow people to fully immerse themselves in video games through a VR-style headset.
By tapping directly into the part of the brain responsible for visual, audio, or sensory feedback, a user’s experience would be vastly improved than what is delivered through their ears or eyes. The real world will stop being the metric that we apply to the best possible visual fidelity. The real world will seem flat, colorless, blurry compared to the experiences that you will be able to create in people’s brains.
