Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this study, a dynamic user interface (UI) is proposed in visual P300 Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based environmental control system. A head-mounted Augmented Reality (AR) glass is used as the interactive media, which is used to assists the BCI system to build the dynamic UI with the scene in subject's field of view. In the dynamic UI, based on the objects detected by the AR glass, options are dynamically generated. The subject can assign tasks by selecting different options in the dynamic UI. Five subjects successfully completed the task of controlling household appliances and navigating wheelchairs to designated destinations. Compared to static UI, the proposed dynamic UI has a 17.4% improvement in time delay. On average, only 1.9% of the commands resulted in incorrect operations. The dynamic UI makes progress in reducing time delay and incorrect operations. The proposed system provides a brand-new interactive method in BCI based applications.
