Emotiv dev kit – Unboxing

Got my Emotiv dev kit! Here are some pics:


The box that contains the artifact to unlock your mind.


Behold! Every item in the box fits perfectly, easy to unpack an pack down.


The USB dongle for connecting to the EPOC headset.


16 Felt sensors in their hydrator pack. All these sensors need to be soaked and attached to the headset before each use. After use, they should be removed from the headset and put back into the hydrator pack.



Contact lens liquid, used for soaking the felt sensors. Had to use a lot the first time I used the headset. This is way better then using some sort of gel, doesn’t get sticky, messy and no smell.


USB cable, for charging the headset. You can’t use this as an alternative connection as far as I know.


And here is the headset itself! Had a bit of a hassle the first time putting it on, but just after some uses I can put it on with ease. It doesn’t feel weird wearing it, and my glasses is not in the way. But it’s really tedious installing and removing the felt sensors each time I want to use it.

Another post will come soon where I will show it in action. It will also feature me wearing this dorky thing :^)

Cheers!
