Orbit Engineering
Non-invasive BCI using vestibular stimulation

Founders
Orbit Engineering builds non-invasive brain-computer interface technology using vestibular stimulation. The company's device, placed behind users' ears, uses electrical stimulation to create immersive experiences for video games, TV shows, and other media. Orbit's novel brain-computer-interface decodes emotion, making technology empathetic.
When Orbit sends artificial electrical signals to the brain's vestibular system, simulating movement patterns, the brain interprets them as real, creating hyper-immersive illusions of movement. Early research shows promise for increasing sleep efficacy, with normal subjects potentially requiring 6.5 hours of sleep instead of 8.
