Researchers Create Radio Controlled Humans

utherdoul writes "Say goodbye to remote-controlled cars, say hello to remote-controlled people. Forbes.com (disclosure: I work there) sent a lucky reporter (further disclosure: I am jealous it was not me) to the SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference in Los Angeles, where NTT researchers debuted a device designed to exploit the effects of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation. As the story explains, when a weak electrical pulse is delivered to the mastoid behind your ear, your body responds by shifting your balance towards it. If the current is strong enough, it not only throws you off balance, but alters the course of your movement. Reading about it really doesn't do it justice -- you have to check out the crazy video of a remotely controlled woman. (Realvideo)"

Just for the amusement factor of this video, I suggest you build an Intel Windows system and install Realplayer on it.

What? and pay $150 dollars to play this shit... last time I used Realplayer (which now is called RealOne IIRC) it was a piece of animal waste. And it added software during installation...

And well... the poor computer is not guilty, who am I to make it suffer installing all that Windows etc etc ?

Real Player got better. It's still pretty awfull, but it's not that steaming pile of shit, that behaves more like a virus than an application, anymore.

Most importantly: It's actually possible to uninstall it without calling an excorcist ;)
