The countdown is set: PiEEG XR officially launches on Kickstarter on November 23, 2026.
Over the past several months, user questions and developer requests pushed us to put PiEEG XR through demanding real-world trials outside the lab—refining mechanical fit, signal stability during movement, enclosure manufacturing, and companion software before opening orders.
Field-Tested Across Continents
- Tokyo, Japan — Independent Media Evaluation: Japan's leading VR publication, Mogura VR (MoguLive), put PiEEG XR through intensive multi-week testing across spatial computing scenarios and delivered candid ergonomic and workflow feedback.
- Madrid, Spain — Live VR Goalkeeper Training: Partnering with BeFootball, we recorded live neural and physiological signals during active VR goalkeeper training sessions to evaluate signal integrity under rapid head and body movement.
- New Companion Software — BodyMove: Pair a standard camera with your headset stream to capture full-body movement kinematics alongside live EEG and facial sEMG on a single synchronized timeline.
From 3D-Printed Prototypes to Factory Enclosures
Early testers will recognize the grey 3D-printed housing clipped to our development headsets—iterated layer by layer in-house as we refined strap geometry and cable routing. Ahead of launch, our production-grade factory enclosures have arrived.
Finished in clean matte white to match standalone VR headsets, the injection-ready production shell is 30% smaller, structurally stiffer, and clips directly onto the headset strap for plug-and-stream operation. Available in Standard (8-channel) and Academic (16-channel, powered by IronBCI-16) configurations, its soft silicone sensor mask brings live brain and facial muscle activity into VR without face-tracking cameras.
Join the Live Launch Stream on November 23
To kick off the campaign, we are hosting a live launch briefing and open Q&A on November 23, 2026 where we will cover:
- What EEG and periocular/facial biosignals actually measure—in plain, honest engineering terms
- What non-invasive neural sensing inside VR can (and cannot) do today
- Every hardware, fit, and software upgrade made after our trials in Japan and Spain
- Live audience Q&A with the PiEEG engineering team
