Looxid Link Brain Interface Comes to Oculus Rift S

Looxid-LabsLooxid Labs has now revealed that its Looxid Link brain monitor for HTC Vive has now been adapted for Oculus Rift S via a modified slick EEG-equipped attachment as an add-on.

The add-on will be attached just above the Oculus Rift S goggles. This enables its nine EEG electrodes to come into contact with the user’s forehead. The design seems like a natural fit. A video of the attachment shows the wearer dodging enemy fire in a virtual reality game without the brain monitoring interface wobbling.

The Vive versions of the Looxid Link brain interface cost $300.

To adapt the device for Oculus Rift S, the Link measuring device is clamped between the facial foam and the forehead attachment. It does not require major modifications to work with the Oculus Rift S.

The VR add-on can also be used by therapists to have a less stressful exposure therapy while also getting a better understanding of the patient’s reactions.
