Take a Picture Just By Thinking About It, Using Google Glass With MindRDR App

Posted by timothy on from the what's-on-your-mind-and-your-ears dept.

rtoz (2530056) writes A London based company, This Place, is launching a new app "MindRDR" for providing one more way for controlling Google Glass. It will allow the users to control the Google Glass with their thoughts. This MindRDR application bridges the Neurosky EEG biosensor and Google Glass. It allows users to take photos and share them on Twitter and Facebook by simply using brainwaves alone. This Place has put the code of this app on GitHub for others to use it and expand on it.

    With an EEG on every user, imagine how much you can charge marketers for showing their images specifically to an audience who provably don't have any mental activity. Of course that mostly means showing them to other marketers but still I think they're onto a good thing here.
