Emotiv EEG headset hacked into VR trapeze act, lets you fly like Superman (video)

Last year, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students built a virtual reality contraption that let them soar through the sky, held aloft by a trapeze harness and seeing through HMD-covered eyes. This year, they’re controlling it with the power of their minds. For his master’s thesis, project leader Yehuda Duenyas added an Emotiv headset — the same one controlling cars and the occasional game — to make the wearer seemingly able to levitate themselves into the air by carefully concentrating. Sure, by comparison it’s a fairly simple trick, but the effect is nothing short of movie magic.
