Xiaomi Group Announces the 'MiGu Headband' as its Competition Winner
Xiaomi has announced that the ‘MiGu Headband’ has won the Group’s third annual Online Hackathon. The headband allows users to control smart devices using just their thoughts by measuring the electrical activity of the brain. By measuring brain function at three points, the software can analyze signals sent to determine the “function” of thoughts.
In addition, the Xiaomi ‘MiGu Headband’ has the potential to be used in medical settings to detect fatigue in patients. Currently, there are no plans to produce the futuristic headband for the mass market, but consumers can try out Xiaomi’s ‘Mijia Smart Glasses’ innovation for a taste of the company’s potential in tech. The AR glasses are available for crowdfunding in China and use two cameras for real-time translation.
