dock98 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Brain-Controlled Gaming System in 'Demo Hell'Emotive Systems' innovative brain-controlled gaming system falls victim to wireless interference in a high-profile demo.James Niccolai, IDG News ServiceThursday, February 21, 2008 9:45 AM PSTIt wasn't supposed to happen like this.Emotiv Systems threw a press conference in San Francisco this week to show the latest enhancements to its futuristic gaming system, which lets players control objects on the screen using only their thoughts.When it works it can be impressive. The system is based on a "neuroheadset" fitted with about a dozen sensors that read tiny electrical impulses that are emitted by the brain when a person thinks. It learns to recognize the impulses and interpret thoughts like "up," "down" and "rotate" and translate them onto the screen.On Tuesday evening the lights dimmed in a packed auditorium at the Sony Metreon theater and for a few moments everything went fine. An employee donned the headset and made facial expressions -- smiles, winks -- that were reflected on the face of an animated robot on a large screen. The employee rotated a three-dimensional cube on the screen and moved it forward.full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
