Gabe Newell on Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs)/Neural Interfaces.
Gabe Newell is the CEO of Valve, which is the company behind Steam, Valve Index (VR HMD), etc.
Did you also know that Gabe Newell is the co founder of a Neural Interface company known as Starfish Neuroscience? His main focus with BCIs is to make Neural VR a reality; which is 'True Virtual Reality' with all Sensory Perception (Matrix Level VR). Imagine feeling true sight, true hearing, smell, touch and taste in your favourite video game, that's what it'll be soon.
According to me, BCI will be the future of all interfaces not just in gaming and the current industry is definitely heading there with prominent companies like; Starfish Neuroscience, Neuralink, Brain Gate, etc., moving ahead (Starfish Neuroscience being the only one focused in gaming imo other than Neuralink where Elon did talk about this topic)
My personal favourite is the gaming industry and entertainment industry. Imagine watching a movie or gaming with all sensory perception with the perspective of a third person or the protagonist. It's wild and exciting! Now, do watch the video, it's amazing!!

Is it true that communities might be shutting down? Personally, I have been into BCI research so didn't have much time for Twitter. Might post ocassionaly but no promises.
BCI is still hidden under the veil of AI atm & things in the research space are very interesting.
We are very close to a whole brain computer interface that will solve any brain condition and enhance humanity.
This will without a doubt be capable of full immersion or super immersive Matrix level VR; revolutionising entertainment and Gaming.
New clinical and preclinical data on PRIMA by Science will be presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2026 annual meeting in Denver this weekend across ten sessions:
May 5 — Daniel Palanker, Ava Bittner, Ralf Hornig, Frank Brodie, Boris Stanzel
May 6 — Martina Corazzol, José-Alain Sahel, Keith Ly
May 7 — Lisa Olmos De Koo, Sebastian Trinh Lee
Check this out, non invasive BCIs will be a bit behind invasive BCIs, but it might change with the advent of Nanotechnology.
This is something quite different but the fact remains that BCIs/Neural Interfaces will replace all known interfaces.
you can now control things with your brain. literally.
we're building the most wearable BCI on the planet, with @sabi, backed by @khoslaventures@accel@initialized & @kevinweil.
we collected the world’s largest neural dataset and trained the most capable Brain Foundation Model.
then we invented a new class of biosensors powered by custom ASICs.
type without typing. click without clicking. a cap that lets your brain do the work.
we’re sabi.
Meta has been quietly working on Neurotech for VR. The arm band they released was based on EMG but the star of the show was their optical read-write capable BCI.
This is what they released in terms of software. Full Dive VR is closer than ever
@AIatMeta Full dive VR is almost here, it'll be an integration of all these technologies and software. The hardware (BCIs) is the most challenging part and it seems the software is already catching up too.
Neuralink is impacting a lot of people's life in a positive light. Check this out.
Full Dive or Matrix level VR a/c to Ray Kurzweil is not far off (early 2030s) & we are getting closer to that reality step by step, and Nanobots will arrive soon as well.
Neuralink’s first patient in the UK, Paul, who is paralyzed by motor neuron disease, has received a brain implant.
Just hours after surgery, he was able to control a computer with his thoughts and is now using it to play games and regain independence.
