| UploadVR Verified
PiEEG XR is an upcoming Quest 3 accessory that aims to make your VR avatar expressive without adding cameras. The device replaces the Quest 3’s standard facial interface with a sensor-equipped frame that captures biosignals from sensors around the face and forehead, then streams that data into software to map avatar reactions, mixed-reality effects, and experimental controls. To be clear, PiEEG XR isn’t a consumer accessory that instantly detects emotions or animates avatars out of the box.

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job in journalism was actually as a roving reporter and video editor at a cable TV station for a couple of years in the mid-1990s.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, in high school I actually took a typing class. It's not that interesting really, stick with a computer or phone.

How is social media changing news?

Social media brings news and change at a faster pace. It is an important and useful development that society simply needs to catch up to.
