Head Plot - Side View too?

Hello! First time poster here.
Have searched around the forum and other websites for information but no luck.
I'm interested in 3D data visualisation of EEG measurements, but for this I need side view as well as the top view as generated in the Head Plot widget.
I'm (maybe) naively hoping there is some kind of downloadable add-on as I have minimal coding experience. Does anyone know of this? Or have any ideas for how this could be achieved?
Cheers! Adam

Adam, hi.
OpenBCI and most EEG systems, are just recording 'surface' EEG from the scalp. They are not capable of deriving 3D EEG voxel values. There ARE such EEG systems, but they are generally expensive and require 19 or more channels. They use tomographic principles, also called source localization. You need to have a minimum number of evenly placed electrodes across the scalp, to mathematically derive the 3D information. 19 channels seems to be the minimum.
