The Mind-Controlled Beer Pouring Robot
Homer V
Homer V is the future of gamified drinks-pouring. Just like its predecessor, it uses EEG technology to track electro-pulse activity in the prefrontal cortex and gauge how focused you are. But the fun doesn’t stop there…
This robot features a rotating roster of games, making use of AR, Computer Vision, gesture control, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Each game controls the pour in a different way, providing an arcade full of options to gamify your drinking experience.
Homer V – the poorer your focus, the headier the beer!
