Brain-Control Gaming Headset Launching Dec. 21

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday December 2, 2009 @10:20PM from the oh-hey-it's-real dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Controlling computers with our minds may sound like science fiction, but one Australian company claims to be able to let you do just that. The Emotiv device has been garnering attention at trade shows and conferences for several years, and now the company says it is set to launch the Emotiv EPOC headset on December 21. PC Authority spoke to co-founder Nam Do about the Emotiv technology and its potential as a mainstream gaming interface." One wonders what kind of adoption they expect with a $299 price tag.

"If you look at the hardware itself, there is a gyroscope attached. Hence,"
Where oh where is the gyroscope? You can't fit one in that little red box.
Perhaps you are talking about ACCELEROMETERS? Besides, I see very little correlation between head movement and stuff happening on the screen.
And I just love it how you draw a completely spurious conclusion and then use the word "Hence" to use that bogosity to justify further bogosity.
Really you should try to get some sleep. It's pretty clear that your mental faculties are deprived.
