New User Interface - Part 2
summary
OrCam’s wearable OCR runs a pilot of 100 units and ships in two weeks; a blind user learns its pointing UI in 45 seconds to learn and uses it to read medicine. InteraXon’s Muse headband sells for Muse $259 at getyourmuse.com, streams forehead and ear EEG to a phone, supported a Vancouver 2010 project where ~7,000 people over 17 days influenced city lights, and targets simple commands and biofeedback (focus, relaxation, working memory training) rather than precise thought-driven control.
