Integrating Extended Reality and Neural Headsets for Enhanced Emotional Lifelogging: A Technical Overview

Lifelogging represents a burgeoning social trend characterized by the use of personal devices to record various aspects of one's life, facilitating future recollection and reminiscence. Concurrently, advancements in technology have made mixed and virtual reality increasingly accessible, largely attributed to the development of smart glasses for different realms. Moreover, EEG headsets are now providing a wealth of information concerning brain activity, particularly regarding emotions, further augmenting our understanding of cognitive processes. In this paper, we present the technical details of a lifelogging system designed to capture the visual subtleties of daily experiences from reality or provided by various models of AR or VR smart glasses, complemented by the Emotiv EPOC X neural headset for the detection and analysis of emotions.
