Who will be the first to snipe someone in Renegade just by thinking it? I can't wait to see Kozars face contorted like he is trying to take a dump, while disarming a beacon...oh wait he already does that. Big Grin

Neural activity generates electrical potentials that are picked up by the three electrodes that are on the forehead of the user. The actuator then separates the electrical activities into three classes of neural and electromyographic signals. These signals are said to reflect the activities of the extraocular muscles, the brain, and the facial muscles.

These signals are then decoded and combined with each other to create unique commands based on the specific permutation of brain, eye and facial muscle activity.

Unlike other products this device hooks into existing games now and allows you to play games like Unreal Tournament already. There is a learning curve to using one of these, but it's pretty easy and should take ~2 minutes to get the device working.

The biggest market for this device will be gamers as they will be able to use the neural impulse actuator in combination with the a mouse to control the shooting, jumping, running, etc. in FPS games. OCZ hopes to bring the actuator to market by year’s end and hope to bring it to market at around $300 USD.


EDIT: Video of some guy using it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKd_AJUUT7Q

That's really neat and all, but I prefer to have a mouse and keyboard so I don't feel like a mindless zombie staring into space.

Game play would have to change entirely to get this to work; I would never miss with a sniper rifle if I could think where to shoot.
Hackers will have fun with this toy.

I'm not sure if this would make games more fun or more boring. There's no question that if this becomes the standard then games will have to change.

I hope it doesn't work with Renegade. This wouldn't go over well in a game where every weapon is 100% accurate and has no recoil even. At least in games like BF2 you'd still need to lead targets, pause between shots, etc...

The guy in the video was definatly using the mouse still to move his view around. Holding just that back though still makes the head control unit pretty unique.

Great, now RenGuard will have to block brainwaves to stop the "BrainHax" Razz

You could just image those hardcore gamers smashing their head in because of lag. Satisfied

Apparently they're still working to get looking/aiming working with this somehow.

Nice. Me likes. Learning curve might be about 2 minutes, however, mastering it would take much longer than that.

I would really like to try this.

I wonder, does it rumble? That would be interesting, but you would probably get a headache from it.

Good question. Too bad I don't have Wii to try it out. However, it is probable that only the pointer works.

So long as they never make a mind reading device, I'm cool. That would screw up the world.
