Controlling video games with your mind? It's here

[drwow]

Have you ever dreamed of controlling everything around you with your mind?
While we haven't perfected that technology yet, the next best thing is here.

I present to you. The emotiv

Yes, you can now control video games with your brain.

I've actually known and been following this thing for about year now.
But I didn't want to post anything about it untill I knew that it was coming out, but it seems now that they're taking reservations on it. So it seems that it is actually coming out now.



Here is a video of it in action;

Just something I would share with you people.

WOW a game where you just think and it happens, what a brilliant idea; absolutely revolutionary! What's the point? After all gaming's just a fad, it won't last long, so why spend time developing this?

In all seriousness though, there is no interest oin this off me whatsoever. if I'm playing a game my mind wanders...so imagine playing a game where you control by thought and you think man I could go for a slash...your guy would stop and take a piss??

It's one of those things that are a good idea, but there's no need in it one bit, gaming's doing well with control pads and this thought senro thingy will just go the same way as virtual reality.
