MR-Braintap: Increasing Freedom through Mixed Reality-Brain Computer Interface
In CHI '18 workshop: Designing Interactions for the Ageing Populations. Montreal, QC, Canada, April 22, 2018. ACM, New York, NY, USA. (bib)

In this paper we contribute to the exploration of new interaction interface methods for Mixed Reality, by combining a Microsoft HoloLens with a g.tec Brain-Computer Interface. This is motivated toward helping handicapped people overcome some of their limitations to interact more freely with their environment. We provide a design approach to explain how a mixed reality interface could be operated using P300 brain signals. We also provide an example of overlaying a virtual TV remote to control a real TV in the userâs environment. This setup shows a practical example of how mixed realty BCI might enhance the userâs independence via control of smart home devices. Eligible populations range from children with cerebral palsy to young adults with spinal cord injury to aged persons with disabilities from Parkinsonâs disease or stroke.
