'Mind-reading' Device Launched At The Price Of Rs 12,000

Jan 20, Kathmandu- In the last few years, a lot of work has been done on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. In this context, a gadget based on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) held in Las Vegas, USA from January 7 to 10 has been made public. It is claimed that this device can read the human brain. That is, what are you thinking? This device can decode what we are thinking.

American startup Based Hardware has created the AI ​​device called Omi. The small device can be worn around the neck as a necklace. It can be activated by saying "Hey Omi." But in listening mode, such a wake-up word will not be required.

This small device can also be placed on your head. Some people on the internet are calling it a mind-reading device. However, this is not entirely true. Because this feature based on brain-computer interface will come in the future.

In fact, it looks more like an AI tool than a BCI-based device, as it works similarly to the Rabbit r1 and Humane Pin. It has GPT4o and can provide personalized suggestions to the user.

According to startup company Based Hardware, the device, which can be attached to the side of your forehead with the help of brain interface medical tape, can answer the user's questions, summarize conversations, create a to-do list, and even create a meeting agenda.

It can also translate languages ​​in real time. That is, even if some people near you are talking in another language, you will not have any problem. Because it will translate the conversation into your language.
