For decades, the concept of a "Brain-Computer Interface" (BCI) was relegated to the dusty shelves of science fiction. It was the stuff of cyberpunk novels and dystopian movies—a direct cable from cortex to cloud. But as we stand on the precipice of 2030, that cable has not only been cut, it has been replaced by a whisper-thin, invisible mesh that sits comfortably on the scalp.
Early iterations of this technology focused on accessibility—allowing those with paralysis to control cursors or robotic limbs. While that remains a vital application, the consumer market is exploding. Imagine designing a 3D model simply by visualizing it.
