It would also make it possible to make a proper digital art without the use of ai. Basically make art without the skills or practices. Also we're probably close to the SAO kind of type of vr headsets.
I would probably train myself like the person in the video. It seems so cool that this type of technology is a thing, and the fact we can use it to give even more expression to ourselves through VR, and more mobility in the real world is amazing to me. I would definitely be training myself to move my avatar’s tail first, then go to the ears once I have more experience. To be honest, I would probably spend hours each day training myself and trying to get better. I now have this on my list of things to do in the future.
@@PAPicturesOfficial I think that's tough considering you have to go through the firewall that protects the device. Since the ai has to like. Figure it out aswell as to how to break through something it doesn't have yet know how to break unless you know how to break said device. You have to be really smart on hacking through the security
In 2012, I believe, a company in Japan actually made a tail that reacted to your heartbeat and some brain readings. I also believe that someone did the same with ears. And this is outside of VR! This isn't entirely new, but the ability to do it in VR is still amazing.
I haven't seen the tail but I do have a set of ears that react to brain activity. Nothing special just twitches and twists depending on how active your brain is.
@@talonus202 yeah, I was sad to discover the earclip on mine broke, Even though i never quite got the hang of it beyond sitting perfectly still, it was a very interesting experience.
If we can create prosthetics for apendages that we lost, why not make some for those we want. Mod a human irl with mechanical parts. Imagine how much balance someone growing up from birth with a tail would have during parkour or wire balancing. *now im starting to sound like the average rimworld player*
Many years ago, I had an idea similar to this that used stick on sensors to puppeteer a fursuit tail. Then my 3d printer broke, I moved house, and the pandemic happened, so it never got out of prototype phase. So cool to see BCI's being integrated into VR. Personally, if I had a BCI, I'd use it to give myself an extra set of arms, both in VRChat, and in real life. I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH HANDS!
A project I engaged with that you may find interesting was “body language brain mapping” or “BLBM” and it allows computers to associate your own body language to your emotions and thoughts. What’s cool is that it was scarily accurate, even for 2017 when I was a part of the program I was able to get a computer to predict what I was going to do based on certain physical cues, usually it was how my eyes moved or how my tone of voice changed, it was even able to compensate for intentional changes. The accuracy was around 90-something percent. I hope this technology gets used for good and to make some interesting content My main wonder is the possibility of phantom limb effect, I still live day to day being able to visualize myself in a place where I am not. This often happens with people who have lost limbs, they feel itching or pain or something where their missing limb is, for me it’s my whole body, but for someone in VR using this on an avatar, they may end up feeling those ears, may not be a bad thing, but it is something to be observed and discussed
as gimmicky as it may be, it's actually kind of amazing what people come up with to be closer to their character. kinda want to hear abot more stuff like this now
Love the idea of having a tail that you can actively (or eventually even subconsciously!) wag when excited without even using a controller. Imagine seeing a friend and instantly knowing how happy they are to see you in a way you know must be genuine. Sounds genuinely heavenly :3
Only thing I would add to this is the mu-01 is discontinued and a bit harder to find than the newer mu-02 that I used in the tweet. Charles is using an mu-01 currently because his mu-02 broke after constant use over the course of 2 years. The mu-02 is readily available on muses site and amazon, and its a bit thinner than the mu-01 was.
Actually the muse 1 is model mu-02 and the muse 2 is mu-03, thanks for confusing everyone muse XD, any version of the muse headband will work with the software but older ones might not have the heartrate sensor.
Reminds me of the old mindflex game I had when I was younger. There was a ball being held up by a fan that you moved through obstacles and it’s height was controlled by your concentration
i'm actually working with a couple of people in the vrchat biosensing discord to modify the mindflex headband to work with vrchat currently! probably wont be able to do advanced control with it, but we're yet to see :3
It is not entirely true, that he teaches himself to move a group of muscles he doesn't have. Like you said, the ehadband is reading the state of micro muscles on your head. So what he's actually doing is training himself to deliberatly use these micro muscles in a way a computer can interpret. it's basically like you have additional buttons on a controller you can press with additonal finger. But these "fingers" are small muscles on your head you normally don't use.
This Is Crazy! Things Are Getting Wild! I Hope More Stuff With This Happens Soon, I Can’t Wait For Everyone In VR To Control Their Avatars With Their Minds.
2 things, 1 we are slowly reaching the point where protogens will be real, 2 yeah your new avatar is growing on me and I've only seen it in 2 videos and one picture
I swear I read somewhere online years ago that we made a "mind controlled" 6th finger prosthetic which looked wicked cool in the article but felt impractical to me
The fact this dude can flex non-existent ears by using his mind in a virtual reality space means that my Thoughts of having Spiritual Ears and Tail are real.
When I hear an unexpected noise from behind, it feels like my ears are twitching. But the feeling is a bit off. I feel it a bit higher, where furry ears would be
Im actually excited bout stuff like this. Being able to make a avatar with moveable ears or tails without having to do handmotions sounds great. Same for wings of a dragon avatar
I've been to a certain place called the brain museum where they had these BCI's connected to little spider robots, and the robots would move based on how much general brain activity it is reading. e.g. pondering something or daydreaming would make the spider run intensely because of the amount of thought being processed in the mind, while distracting oneself from their thoughts like blinking very fast or staring at one spot without a single thought in the mind would make the spider stop completely because you're not thinking. I'd say it's far from actual mind control so far, but we're slowly getting there !!!
Wondering if in the future, people with 4 arms in VRC will actually be fully articulated... Coolest thing ever would be to see someone casually using all of their arms to gesture and show things while explaining something.
The bci used for this was much smaller than I expected. The previous consumer ones I’ve seen before have been much larger and more expensive. Hopefully the lower cost encourages more people to make stuff with it.
Ngl when I read the title I thought he meant that furries were mind controlling people in vr chat but now I know what he’s actually talking about this makes so much more sense
With the astonishing progress of both prosthetics and control mechanisms, I honestly think we're going to see real world body augmentation before I die. I only wonder if we're going to start seeing people augment themselves into IRL furries by that point.
I think when most people think of brain-computer interfaces they think of stuff like The Matrix, where you have to have machinery and ports embedded into your brain or spine, which is some scary stuff, so it's comforting to see it not be that, if that makes sense. It's nice to see us doing cool things with technology that don't require splicing it into ourselves. And given the small form factor of the headband being used I think we'll see at least one headset incorporate something similar as a selling point, like the Vive Pro Eye did. And if that's the case maybe we'll see more nuanced facial animation support show up in more games as a result. I'm really excited to see where this goes.
Being someone who is currently in their third year of college for neurophysicist degree this is definitely caught my interest in my start looking into it
We can have flight like from SAO when they're in Alfheim, they have controler flight, but it you imagine using the muscles in your back to control your wings you can fly better.
Honestly if this stuff become possible and later on is able to work for irl ears and tail prosthetics, imagine the amount of people who'd use VR Chat to train the brain to move them, even down to a subconscious level (like some other comment said), in order to have the tails and ears become a living part of your body... and imagine if the scanners ended up having more diverse designs so that people could choose one to fit their personality and looks? I would 100% splurge to get me my own functioning ears and tail cause itd be pretty damn cool And like a different comment said, imagine also getting multiple arms? It would provide much more workplace functionality and just overall quality of life for those who get the extra limbs
I wouldn't use it as I don't play VR chat, but the tech behind it is still very fascinating. I'm curious what else it could do. I love the idea of controlling robots or programs with a thought.
i can imagine we'd get VR gear where we would just need to put on a helmet and we'd personally get into said VR game but we'd have to be in a state where our body is sleeping but our mind is active so we wouldn't do what we'd do in the VR game which could take some time to learn todo to just start sleeping on command to be transported into a virtual world
the fact that BCI's are being developed more just for vrchat, (and later possibly are going to be used for other purposes of course) muscles groups are not non existent, just not used often by the body, so you have to adapt to using them
That's actually really intresting and great idea to put into my head for solving this problem I was running into with an avatar I'm recreating from a game. The avatar has a backpack that has an extra set of arms and hands that move independently of the actual arms.... kinda doc-ock style but not for movement purposes. The problem is as of now there's not really a good way to control them without doing one or a mix of 3 things. 1) bind them to my actual arms and move them puppet style 2) give them physbones to move and be posed 3) make seperated animations and assign them to gestures and/or an animation group toggle But with this idea I could potentially move them with my thoughts and (albeit not as complex and effective as actual arm movement) This could be also helped with doing something like Cosears does and use motion (in this case head movement) to emulate mood
Phantom sense is rather strong for me, even with non-human parts like the ears and tail. I'd totally want to try it out to see if it'd make the phantom sense stronger because it's matching what I'm thinking or weaker because it doesn't match up well enough. I've been so excited about this stuff over the years. I used to see people trying to control stuff with their mind at first, and it just flails about, but now there are some videos that you can see where there is some pretty smooth movement. I just can't wait to see that become more normal, and not stuff stuck in research labs. This is a huge step though!
This is gonna be crazy in 10 - 20 years. Just a few more breakthroughs in haptics and BCIs and we’ll have almost total immersion. Sadly meta (Facebook) killed tons of investment in VR with the failed metaverse.
it would be pretty cool to control huds in vr or to activate things in tactical shooters like IR or to mark an enemy on a map like spotting in battlefield
The only sad thing about the BCI is that it only has four contact points… in theory you could create a stable gyro that moves a hand in four directions, but because we live in 3D, we have six directions to worry about… Very interesting to look out for, as I know exactly where my paychecks will be going once those are available
this is super neat. ive been watching BCI tech for vr for a while now and its neat to see more hobbyists trying it out. i wonder what type of CVR mods could be made to use this tech
I really want to see what one of these would do for a furry that claims Phantom Sense in VR with their ears or tail, since that is essentially them saying there is mental stimuli they experience/associate with limbs they do not have.
I've stolen that BCI thingie many times in Payday 2! Honestly never saw this coming, either. *Cloaker charging sound effect!* "Oh I walked into that one... OW, OH F*CK! SH*T! D*MN IT!"
There is another really cool Brain Computer interface known as Next Mind for some VR systems. It functions by reading eletrical signals from the visual cortex right at the back of your head. In a neat tech demo designed for the device you can focus on an enemy who dispaly a sort of brain QR code which you can focus on to kill them with literal telepathy!
it sounds pretty cool and very interesting because the number of hardware devices that people are making and adding in VRchat would basically just be ready for player one and we got this before GTA 6 that's crazy but cool
Given the fact that the Phantom Limb phenomena has been apparent to varying degrees in VR chat this technology is very much credible. Now that I think about it, I wonder if such a feeling could be possible for certain people to feel what is essentially non existent ears or other extra non existent appendages. Any ways there is no telling what kind of amazing things could come from this research, who knows eventually a person could role play almost anything to a far more immersive level. It could even possibly expand our capabilities of thought beyond our normal capabilities. Good luck to them and thanks for sharing such innovative developments like this.
you know how amputees, or people missing limbs in general, have something called "phantom pain" or "phantom limbs"? well, yeah, we gonna have that with limbs that don't even exist... and i'm here for it
Back in collage, I saw an article about a similar technology being funded by Meta. I was doing a paper on Quest 2's success and the Horizon World failure. The technology looked really cool, but I knew Meta was going to pull the plug when Horizon Worlds eventually failed. I don't know what happened to Meta's version but its likely been cut already. So, I'm glad someone else was working on this technology.
So Raeal if what I got from this video is accurate we all could do so much more with the BCI unit much more than just move our ears and tail around like you said but if someone that is disabled puts on a VR Headset and the BCI unit they could essentually have the ability to walk move body parts they they can not normally so this could help a LOT of people and maybe later in the futur they could make robitc legs for people that can't walk, or even nano bots for the spines of people that don't have the ability to do anything this is truly amazing.
i doubt it would be convenient but i think it would be really cool if you controlled movement in vr with something like a BCI, i think this my be one path vr may go down before an actual omnidirectional treadmill is made.
imagine using this tech to control a f**cking jjba stand in vrchat? That would be crazy cool in general, but could go even harder for skits / machima-type deals :D
Im mostly waiting until meta releases a quest with a BCI and face tracking at this point honestly. Like, that is the dream headset. Pancake lessens, inside out tracking (like the pro controllers) same solution for full body like those new vive ones, a built in BCI and face tracking. And im in, everything I need for VR Chat.
I could see a lot of use cases outside of the furry community as well. I use a robot to identify myself on the internet and my mind is racing on what micromucles i can track to toggle different modes, visual effects, and axis of rotation on my general character design!
Honestly i wonder just how far this can be pushed. How many non-existent VR parts and pieces can end up being moved via BCI at the same time? The absolute mental training required for just ears or a tail seems difficult enough, but I'd love to see someone try and push it to its absolute limits. Ears, a tail, an extra pair of arms, both of those new hands, etc etc

This could be also helped with doing something like Cosears does and use motion (in this case head movement) to emulate mood
damn that's awesome makes me think how much longer until we get full dive VR like they have in anime

BCI is soo cool. By the looks in this video, we can do almost anything if we put our minds to it.
Reminds me of the "blows up pancakes with mind" meme. However, this is so cool! :D
That headband reminds me of Big Hero 6
I really want to see what one of these would do for a furry that claims Phantom Sense in VR with their ears or tail, since that is essentially them saying there is mental stimuli they experience/associate with limbs they do not have.
0:13 yes, ive used internet before.
This is great info, glad to know this is now public!
This so cool. but i can only imagine even harder phantom touch and funny after-effects out of VR
I actually knew it was a matter of time before someone did this, but if no one did i would have done it myself
I've stolen that BCI thingie many times in Payday 2! Honestly never saw this coming, either.
*Cloaker charging sound effect!*
"Oh I walked into that one... OW, OH F*CK! SH*T! D*MN IT!"
There is another really cool Brain Computer interface known as Next Mind for some VR systems. It functions by reading eletrical signals from the visual cortex right at the back of your head. In a neat tech demo designed for the device you can focus on an enemy who dispaly a sort of brain QR code which you can focus on to kill them with literal telepathy!
I love this, I’m excited to hopefully use this in the future
it sounds pretty cool and very interesting because the number of hardware devices that people are making and adding in VRchat would basically just be ready for player one and we got this before GTA 6 that's crazy but cool
So many people are gonna use that in the Murder game on VRC and make it look like they're using their Grab / grip thing when they aren't.
I wonder how long it will take for some furry engineers and programmers to team up and make prosthetic ears and tails that would use BCI's
Given the fact that the Phantom Limb phenomena has been apparent to varying degrees in VR chat this technology is very much credible. Now that I think about it, I wonder if such a feeling could be possible for certain people to feel what is essentially non existent ears or other extra non existent appendages.
Any ways there is no telling what kind of amazing things could come from this research, who knows eventually a person could role play almost anything to a far more immersive level. It could even possibly expand our capabilities of thought beyond our normal capabilities. Good luck to them and thanks for sharing such innovative developments like this.
you know how amputees, or people missing limbs in general, have something called "phantom pain" or "phantom limbs"? well, yeah, we gonna have that with limbs that don't even exist... and i'm here for it
this is awesome but that last sentence is perfect 😆
We’re getting closer to Ready Player One and I’m loving it
Am flabbergasted and hyped this gets better soo you don't need to really focus to move
Some movies i know and believe to used something similar to BCI is ( Matrix, Robocop, and basically more movies i forgot the name)
Oooooo, I can already very easily move my actual ears so now I just need a vr headset and that headband thing.
Its so cool to see what ppl can do
Back in collage, I saw an article about a similar technology being funded by Meta. I was doing a paper on Quest 2's success and the Horizon World failure.
The technology looked really cool, but I knew Meta was going to pull the plug when Horizon Worlds eventually failed.
I don't know what happened to Meta's version but its likely been cut already. So, I'm glad someone else was working on this technology.
Valve has also been working on BCIs, though they’re focused on the higher-bandwidth and more involved ones
We are one step closer to full dive gaming
Ooooooooo that’s so cool dude! I’m gonna see if I can get one of those, that’s gonna be so cool!
So Raeal if what I got from this video is accurate we all could do so much more with the BCI unit much more than just move our ears and tail around like you said but if someone that is disabled puts on a VR Headset and the BCI unit they could essentually have the ability to walk move body parts they they can not normally so this could help a LOT of people and maybe later in the futur they could make robitc legs for people that can't walk, or even nano bots for the spines of people that don't have the ability to do anything this is truly amazing.
Okay, I imagined a very different kind of mind control when I read the title
i doubt it would be convenient but i think it would be really cool if you controlled movement in vr with something like a BCI, i think this my be one path vr may go down before an actual omnidirectional treadmill is made.
wtf, as soon as I saw the headband I was like "IS THAT BIG HERO 6 ALL OVER AGAIN????"
That face at the end caught me off-guard and made me laugh.
this is effectively the early stages of what Doc Ock was doing
Still crazy how advanced furry models are in vr. They are always some of the most detailed and alive looking models
imagine using this tech to control a f**cking jjba stand in vrchat? That would be crazy cool in general, but could go even harder for skits / machima-type deals :D
I completely misunderstood the title on my first read until I watched the actual video xD
We are growing closer to having the bionic arm from Metal Gear Solid V: TPP in real life, this is good
Im mostly waiting until meta releases a quest with a BCI and face tracking at this point honestly.
Like, that is the dream headset. Pancake lessens, inside out tracking (like the pro controllers) same solution for full body like those new vive ones, a built in BCI and face tracking. And im in, everything I need for VR Chat.
I could see a lot of use cases outside of the furry community as well. I use a robot to identify myself on the internet and my mind is racing on what micromucles i can track to toggle different modes, visual effects, and axis of rotation on my general character design!
Not much longer until we start uploading our consciousnesses to the cloud and live on forever
Imagine explaining this to your parents when you say you need physical therapy for muscles you don’t have
Honestly i wonder just how far this can be pushed. How many non-existent VR parts and pieces can end up being moved via BCI at the same time?
The absolute mental training required for just ears or a tail seems difficult enough, but I'd love to see someone try and push it to its absolute limits. Ears, a tail, an extra pair of arms, both of those new hands, etc etc
