Brain-controlled Helicopter
{youtube}x0e6q400-ig{/youtube}
The Puzzlebox Orbit is a brain-controlled helicopter. How does that work? It's simple. All you need is one of NeuroSky's EEG-Headsets. Its sensors at the forehead and ear lobe measure the brain's electrical activity. Operated with an EEG headset, users can fly the Orbit by focusing their concentration and clearing their mind. Colorful visuals and physical feedback help provide positive reinforcement while developing skills of attention and mental relaxation.
What makes the Puzzlebox Orbit truly unique however is the open release of all source code, hardware schematics, 3D models, and the step-by-step hacking instructions which are published online for free. Puzzlebox seeks to aid the pursuit of science and education by inviting its users to modify their products and make them their own. For more information please visit: https://puzzlebox.io/ A NeuroSky MindWave Mobile Plus is recommended for use.
