NeuroXess BCI lets paralyzed designer create figurines via AI
Xiao Jia, a quadriplegic designer in China, used a fully implanted, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) from Shanghai-based NeuroXess to create a physical figurine. Since receiving the implant in April, he has tested the company's "Three-Full" system, which captures brain signals to generate sketches and text prompts. These inputs were processed by an AI large-language model to produce…
Key points
- Xiao Jia used NeuroXess BCI and AI to design and 3D print a figurine without moving.
- The system also created a custom finger sleeve and controlled smart home devices.
- NeuroXess calls its platform "Three-Full": fully implanted, wireless, and functional.
The demonstration also extended to daily life improvements and environment control. Xiao Jia used the same pipeline to design a lighter, custom-fitted finger sleeve for tablet operation. Additionally, the BCI was paired with AI-powered smart glasses equipped with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to control smart home devices like lights and hospital beds. The system identifies targets visually and translates confirmed brain intent into device commands.
NeuroXess founder Tao Hu described this as a shift from controlling single devices to connecting human intention with AI and physical manufacturing. The company’s platform, including its XessOS operating system, aims to lower operational barriers for people with limited mobility by linking thought directly to AI tools and real-world actions.
