Cogitat, a startup founded last year to commercialize Imperial Research, is looking into medical and gaming applications for its core technology, a brain-computer interface that allows users to move through virtual reality (VR) environments by mentally rather than physically willing themselves to move.

The startup is forging relationships with virtual reality companies and developers to deploy the technology for a variety of applications, beginning with games that could help stroke victims regain their hand movements by practicing with a mind-controlled VR hand.

“Repeated training can be quite irritating if you can’t move your hand at all,” says Allan Ponniah, CEO of Cogitat. “However, the games we’re developing will deliver a more satisfying experience.” “In the beginning, users merely imagine their actions and see their hands move in virtual reality. This helps them calibrate their hands over time. It’s portrayed in the VR experience as a more successful performance as soon as they move their hands a little bit. It forces children to reach a point where they can fully open and close their fist, for example.”

The inspiration for these games came from neuroscience research that suggests that watching someone complete a motor activity helps them develop the motor skills they need to perform it themselves by stimulating mirror neurons, which are triggered by both observation and performance of motor activities.

Cogitat wants to set itself apart from the competition in the nascent field of virtual reality-assisted physical therapy by incorporating feedback from patients and medical experts early in the development process. The researchers used a funding from UKRI’s Audience of the Future Challenge in collaboration with Unit 9 to obtain feedback from physical therapists, neurologists, and potential users.

The Cogitat team also claims to be distinguished by its award-winning core technology, which uses machine learning to understand a user’s motor intents from brainwave data captured by EEG headsets.

Krystopia, a 3D Metaverse game designed to entertain through mechanics that are well established in other games, is a game that takes place in 4 “chapters” or stages. Each of these chapters is possible to play as a complete and stand-alone game. The player’s progress is tracked by numbering the items that they collect, which increases your completion percentage. Players must solve and complete all of the available puzzles central to the game to be allowed to keep going. Players are allowed to go back and finish progress after they have completed a stage without collecting all the items. In the main article, we are going to examine some of the things that make this game fun and unique.

What Makes it Special

Krystopia is, at its core, a puzzle-solver/adventure game coupled with a relatively intriguing storyline that players can explore as they go along. In the beginning of the game, the user is introduced to the gameplay and mechanics with simple puzzles. Level 1 is composed of basically two puzzles that allow you to open the door which is locked. After the lock opens, the player can then progress into the next chapters.

As the game becomes more difficult, you are enabled to find more things and gain more points. the difficulty is progressive and scalable, keeping the users engaged and on the verge of not being able to solve the problems. Some of the problems and puzzles are extremely difficult and cannot be easily passed with some effort.

The other parts of the game that have yet to be released may include….

“You will be confronted with many puzzles to solve along the way, and here is where I had a mixed experience. While various types of puzzles are included, such as uncovering key cards to access important areas, figuring out the proper combination to different locks.” –Adventure Games Review
