FYI i'm using an emotiv headset.

Thanks in advance..

Hi Rapten and welcome on board !

The idea sounds very good !
Basically, openvibe is a software written in C++. I assume what you want to do would require to port it on Android OS.
You will need an acquisition server running in background to acquire data from the Emotiv Headset, which raise the question of the Emotiv SDK itself... is it compatible with Android ?
Some iPhone applications have already been developed, so why not an Android app ?

I personally don't have strong experience with any smartphone programming, so I'm afraid I won't be helpful on that part

Anyone else ?

ya and can open vibe connect directly to the emotiv headset ?? i mean without requiring emotiv's SDK... can the acquisition server do that on real time..??

Hello Rapten,

Emotiv does not allow third party drivers to be redistributed, thus it is impossible to connect OpenViBE with the headset directly without having at least the research edition SDK.
