Positivity Moves The World brings brain-controlled interface technology to the GearVR via a headband.
There’s no shortage of bizarre control schemes for VR experiences these days. After all, developers are still experimenting with various methods they hope will become the standard. So it comes as no surprise that we have some truly unique options popping up almost every week.
However it’s the work being done with brain-controlled interfaces (BCI) that’s truly pushing the boundaries of what can be done in virtual reality. This hands-free method of control utilizes advanced brain-wave tracking technology to allow users to alter and influence their experiences with just their thoughts.

Based on this positivity-powered experience as well as several other exciting data-driven narrative projects, StoryUP XR is quickly becoming an immersive media company worth keeping track of. Along with Positivity for Muse, the company is working on it’s innovative “Story Spa” platform, a mobile VR library designed to alleviate workplace stress. From over-worked sales team members to isolated sailors aboard the USS Nimitz in the Pacific Ocean, users gain access to a collection of anxiety-reducing 360° videos written partly by those who have personally seen challenges and various trauma around the world.
StoryUP products also support the efforts of Honor Everywhere, a VR system for aging or terminally ill military veterans who are physically unable to visit their hard-earned memorials. You can support these retired warriors by donating to your local Honor Flight hub.
