The innovation that helped a ballerina with degenerative disease dance again

Dentsu Lab and NTT used a non-invasive EEG headset and machine learning to let Breanna Olson with ALS control a digital avatar and perform live in mixed reality in Amsterdam last December. The work, part of Project Humanity, remains a non-commercial prototype the teams are continuing to train with other users.
