wearing oculus rift like vr devices with openbci

As neural-motor prediction gets better, EEG might become a good candidate to be the controller for vr devices.
Does the current openbci design have any capability to hook a VR set to the front, using the electrode tentacles for support? If not, can this be a possibility in future versions?

    I dont have have a VR device or a EEG device yet! But I know that ,the VR machine is independent from the EEG.
    Is like you say that you have the keyboard and you want to build a screen on the keyboard.

    This is two different device. The EEG is input and the VR output. So if you are a programmer , and you can find librarys or build your own librarys , you can do it yourself a programme that use this two together. If you are , buy a VR and a EEG and see what you can do!

    Thanks for the motivation, but I do not agree with your analogy, I'll draw an alternate one. I am saying I want to use a screen and a keyboard together. Right now the keyboard is such that it takes the whole table by itself so that I cannot put the screen on the table. Same goes for the screen too, if I wear the VR hooking EEG would be difficult. I am asking if it possible to have a hardware design that accommodates both VR and EEG, more like can the keyboard have a stand for the screen so that i can put a screen (totally optional). If it would be a huge stretch I understand, but there would be more people like me who want to use the screen and the keyboard both.

    No. It does not have that functionality. 
    No. It probably will never have that either. At least not directly.

    I have a 16 channel EEG & Google glass, so I do a bit of interfacing between the two; although my eye is set toward the rift. 

    If you were to do what you're talking about, then you'd just cut a few holes in the straps of the rift and implement the EEG. You'd want to tighten that sucker up too as I'm sure it moves around.
