[First in history! EEG Battle Royale!]
A system that uses optical communication to measure the brain waves of multiple people while watching a mini-show compares the excitement of mini-shows of different genres. Here, we created a system that visualizes the state of the brain waves of the audience.
[Finding Your Super Future Self Vol. 1 Find Your Face!]
Many people lose confidence when asked how well they remember their own faces, don't they? It is a search for yourself by guessing your own face that is hidden in your subtly deformed faces. Souvenirs will also be available. I am in charge of the production of the whole system here.
Today I am at a crazy event called Niconico Chokaigi (think cosplay x internet video x music) helping out NTT's (Japan's AT&T) research division. The folks at NTT have developed a system to capture the brain waves of a bunch of people at once using visible light communication. This is neat because most brain wave devices use BLE which 1. won't work with a bunch of devices at once, 2. definitely won't work consistently at a crowded event space. The movie is the system at work with 30+ people. The yellow characters = normal, red = paying attention, green = relaxing. There are also a bunch of combo's (like 2 people paying attention doubling up into one character, etc.) Three groups perform and the group that gets the most points wins.
