Muse Sphero Driver

Using mind control (ACC and EEG data -:) to guide a Sphero through a maze!
Hacking together the Muse headband and a little Sphero robot ball. Built for Openworld 2014.

An amazing project that wows our visitors!

Using various sensor data readings, we can control the direction and speed of a Sphero ball going through a maze.

The Muse-Sphero driver at Oracle Openworld conference.

The accelerarometer and electroencephalograpy data from multiple sensors are translated into control signal to guide the Sphero.

I hand-made two versions of maze: a classic bamboo tray-based, and a modern clean acrylic cut.

Explore telekinesis! - just kidding... This project is part of our UX research into human-machine interface. It was a big "wow" moment for all the visitors which tried it out. It became a permanent fixture in Cloud UX Lab for all Oracle visitors in 2015-2017.
