Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a technology that has been incorporated into the medical field as a method of better understanding the human brain. Now, BCI is being tested in other aspects, including entertainment. Our project aims to combine BCI with augmented reality (AR) to generate a new experience for gamers. Our team created an AR application on the Microsoft HoloLens 2 using the Unity game engine. Our murder mystery game, The Consultant’s Case of Concentration, combines traditional murder mystery elements with a fabricated focus state that alters the game experience for users based on their focus state using BCI. The outcome of our project is a foundation that other project groups can use to develop a full game.
