    … oh that’s interesting. Creation of a phantom “limb” with a brain control interface? I wonder how much control there is? Does it just wiggle? Is it purely binary up/down? Can they control the angle?

    I actually have a set of LED eyes that I control with puppetry, last I looked at BCIs it was woefully incapable of what I wanted but maybe I should look at this again…

      I would assume it’s just two states (ears up and ears down) that will be switched to. Most VRChat avatars I have seen do exactly this but through pressing a button rather than mind controls.
      Even something simple as this adds a lot of immersion! There are probably specific faces to go with the ears as well.

        I assume the opposite, as in the video the ears move in a much more fluid manner. The same guy also made a seperate component for emotions.

      I have a pair of Necomimi ears and I have no idea how they work, but I wonder if this VRC mod is like that?

    In an alternative dimension:

    Facebook: “announces mind reading headset to animate imaginary body parts”

    People: “Nice try, CIA!”, “That’s big gender propaganda!”, “I’m not going to connect my brain to the internet!” “Not guilty, your honor. Facebook made me do it via the headset.”

      To be fair, if Metaverse did integrate something like this they would definitely record telemetry data “for development purposes”.

        No, they’d straight up say they were doing it to target ads at you. They think it’s a good thing, because we get “relevant” ads.
