VR for the rest of us [Permalink]
 |
Movies and television shows have been doing it for years. But only now is there a commercially available non-invasive electroencephalography VR headset for the masses ($299) called the "Epoc headset". According to an article on the BBC news website, "A neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain will go on sale later this year. ... It picks up electrical activity from the brain and sends wireless signals to a computer."
The headset can detect more than 30 different expressions, emotions and actions.
They include excitement, meditation, tension and frustration; facial expressions such as smile, laugh, wink, shock (eyebrows raised), anger (eyebrows furrowed); and cognitive actions such as push, pull, lift, drop and rotate (on six different axis). Gamers are able to move objects in the world just by thinking of the action.Original article here |

It's kinda creepy if you ask me. Not to mention the uber-high geek factor with a headset like this. :)
