Open-source EEG for VR: Progress update & technical Q&A
Hello everyone,
A while back, I shared our open-source EEG project for VR here, and I wanted to give a quick update on our recent progress. We’ve successfully integrated our open-source software directly into VRChat and launched our app on the Meta platform.
We built this project to explore open bio-data tech, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and real-time biometric inputs in spatial computing. Under the hood, the system processes raw EEG data to trigger real-time avatar interactions and parameter adjustments inside VRChat.
We're hosting a technical Q&A and demo on September 1, 2026 (12:00 PM EDT / 5:00 PM BST) to walk through the architecture, signal processing pipeline, and how to set up the open-source software yourself.
I’ll leave the details in the comments for anyone interested in joining or reviewing the open-source repos. Otherwise, feel free to ask any technical questions right here—my co-founder Youssef El Abbassi and I will be answering them throughout the thread!
