Awesome, so was the guy actually doing it, and how good was he?

PA!N · 17th Mar 2007, 11:37

Thats hardcore

Veles · 17th Mar 2007, 12:19

Sweet

Nature · 17th Mar 2007, 12:48

That is ******* cool. Not cool, ******* cool.

Duste · 17th Mar 2007, 12:56

If that external box could be shrunk to the size of a PCI card, I reckon it'd be a lot better.

Darkened · 17th Mar 2007, 13:06

Is that Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendell, he sure looks like him!

Could be pretty cool if it worked well this "game controller", though the downside would be the total lack of "sports" as all geeks know it.

pjotero · 17th Mar 2007, 13:21

Any idee about the price

Does it work good? Or are there alot of unmeant movements?

Smilodon · 17th Mar 2007, 13:42

So in the future i actually have to THINK while gaming? That sucks

Really, that's pretty cool. I wonder how easy it is to use.

DarkLord7854 · 17th Mar 2007, 13:53

Can you reverse the signal and make the computer control the human?

Lazarus Dark · 17th Mar 2007, 14:21

Ok, interesting and all. But where is the friggin Cryo-z!

samkiller42 · 17th Mar 2007, 14:35

Cool, imagine controlling vast amounts of Mammoth Tanks in C&C 3 just using your mind, i so want.

DXR_13KE · 17th Mar 2007, 15:08

I presume someone's looking into applying this to people with spinal cord injuries.

I think this would be extremely useful in RTS game genres.

I wonder if your skill level when using this new device is affected by your intelligence LOL

FooSai · 17th Mar 2007, 17:56

That would be cool to use in addition to a normal controller, so you can still (using FPS as an example) move around, aim and fire like normal, but could use it to switch weapons bring up a map and do less used activities like opening doors, all without having to move you hands from your mouse and WASD keys.

Imagine having a sniper scope on and being able to zoom in just by thinking "what the hell is that over there?"

jmke · 17th Mar 2007, 18:29

is doesn't work like that "thinking what the hell is that over there"; alpha/beta brain waves are monitored, eye movement and facial muscles, those can then be read through the electrons and used for input on the PC;

got a movie and more tech detail, price, caps, up here: http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=551

it was, without a doubt, the coolest thing at Cebit
