Imagine playing a game with your mind. Its all coming true right now with NeuroSky Technology and their special HL2 Source Engine mod.

Ahh... I love technology.

I saw this in a paper in the UK recently. This 19 year old woman who had a stroke when she was only 7, was able to communicate for the first time when using one of these machines. But the initial cost is still expensive, so regardless of what that video tells you, we won't be finding this sort of thing in our games and stuff for another 8-10 years yet.

 

The basic system costs £4,500 ($9,000) and can go all the way up to £17,600 ($34.200) for the more sophisticated models. So I would hardly call it a consumer product right now.

Well, I can wait 10 years... Or maybe not. I'll be 24 by then, and that means that I'll be working... Less time to play sophisticated or cool games... Oh well, I'm satisfied with how we all play our games, no need for high tech stuff.

[TheBlackOut 6]

You're only 14? Figured you were a little older lol.

Let's say experience turned me into what I am.

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Everyone I know tells me my face is that of a 1st year college student, even though I'm just 2nd year high school. :oops:

[Luk3us 63]

Have a shave then.

[mormreed 0]

sounds like my friend, he's gonna be a junior this year but walking into sophomore year he had a full chinstrap beard

[Azrael 0]

I'm still a sophemore, and my facial hair isn't that long yet, but it's visible already. It's my wrinkles, pimples and other qualities of my face that had my friends commenting that I look old for my age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. This is going out of topic. Can at least someone make a comment about the product which this topic is tackling?

[sith_wampa 6]

Saracen is right, this stuff is still way too expensive. But waiting about 10 years for this is worth it.

[Louis EX 0]

I guess I could wait 10 years for the thing to be refined and cheaper.

[Azrael 0]

Well, yeah we can wait, but then by that time... More responsibilites, like a job, bills, etc., maybe even a family of your own.

[Louis EX 0]

Don't remind me..... >_<

[mormreed 0]

well be this is one thing saracen won't be buying for his wife anyways yeah I can wait a while for the price to come down and to make it work even better for now I can use the wii-mote to play games

[Azrael 0]

Yeah, Wiimote is cool... But this NeuroSky Technology is like a built up version of the Wiimote... Instead of moving your hands, which is a hell lot easier than the other ways of playing games, you use your mind, which is TOTALLY RAD.

[Saracen 16]

mormreed]well be this is one thing saracen won't be buying for his wife

 

She's already hinting at me to get her a Wii for Xmas, I'm just not listening.

Don't be cruel.

[sith_wampa 6]

Buy her a brain reading thingy.

[mormreed 0]

now a wii is ok but if you get one get the game Red Steel, it looks like the coolest game ever, when my friend gets it we're gonna pull an all-nighter playing it

[S1lentOp 0]

Now we can finally beat Yuri at Counter-Strike: Source.

 

He's had the upper hand for years now, but not more! It's time we strike back!

 

 

Seriously though, this is pretty cool. I'd love to see how it feels to actually work on of those things. I just hope that you can control things with your keyboard and mouse still, though. I can just imagine having to control my game and then something happening around me and distracting me long enough to ruin what I was trying to do in the game. I wonder how it'll be able to differentiate between a person concentrating on the game and a person concentrating on something outside of the game.

[Louis EX 0]

Imagine the next generation of gamers!

 

It used to be just using your hands! Now you don't need to move a muscle!

[mormreed 0]

except for that one people call your brain

[Azrael 0]

Yeah, I'd guess that would be cool...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Louis EX, what's with the Luna Lovegood craze...?
