Kickstarter — Coming Q3 2026

The Mind is
the New Interface

AuraCoding fuses EEG brain-wave decoding, gaze-controlled navigation, and voice commands into a single wearable headband. Think text. Look to navigate. Speak to confirm. No keyboard required.

The Technology Stack

Three Layers, One Interface

AuraCoding combines three breakthrough technologies — each proven independently — into a single wearable that turns your thoughts and gaze into computer commands.

Layer 1

EEG Brain-Wave Decoding

Powered by ZUNA (Open Source)

8 dry electrodes capture your brain's electrical signals at 256 Hz. Zyphra's ZUNA model — a 380M-parameter foundation model trained on 2 million channel-hours of EEG data — denoises and upsamples the signal to research-grade quality. Downstream classifiers then decode your thoughts into text.

Layer 2

Gaze-Controlled Navigation

Inspired by eyeTerm / eyede

Dual IR cameras track your gaze at 120 Hz across up to 4 monitors. Look at a terminal to select it. Look at a button to highlight it. Wink or think to confirm. The same paradigm Brian Harms demonstrated with a Mac webcam — but with dedicated hardware for sub-degree precision.

Layer 3

Voice Confirmation

A MEMS microphone array with local Whisper-based speech-to-text provides a confirmation and dictation layer. Whisper "go" to execute, or dictate longer passages when thought-to-text needs a boost.

AuraOS

Open Developer SDK

Raw EEG streams, gaze coordinates, classified mental states, and decoded text — all available via WebSocket API. Build custom apps, integrations, and experiments on top of AuraOS.

Product Vision

The Future of Hands-Free Computing

See how eye tracking and brain-wave decoding combine to let you control your entire desktop — without touching a keyboard.

Who It's For

Three Markets, Infinite Potential

From developers seeking hands-free coding to individuals who need assistive communication, AuraCoding serves distinct markets with a unified platform.

Beachhead Market

Developers & Power Users

Look at a terminal to select it. Think a command. Confirm with a wink. Silent coding in open offices, libraries, or late at night. The eyeTerm workflow — but powered by thought instead of voice.

Highest Impact

Accessibility Users

For the 30,000 Americans living with ALS and millions more with limited hand/speech function. Current assistive devices cost $5,000-$15,000. AURA delivers richer interaction at a fraction of the cost.

  • Gaze + EEG intent confirmation
  • Solves the 'Midas touch' problem
  • AAC device replacement
  • 10x cheaper than alternatives
Mass Market

Gamers & Creatives

Mental state detection adapts game difficulty in real-time. Eye tracking enables hands-free camera control in VR/AR. Biofeedback during creative work helps you stay in flow state.

  • Adaptive game difficulty
  • VR/AR gaze control
  • Flow state biofeedback
  • Creative tool integration
