Neural gaming control – yes please!

Emotiv have announced the launch of a $299 headset that will allow gamers to control their games via neural activity using their thoughts and emotions. Anyone who has seen the movie (or better still read the book) of Firefox will know what I mean….

Imagine being able to interact in a MMORPG with your neural activity, displaying your real emotions as you meet people, battle orcs, celebrate a massive victory, take a blow from a sword etc.

This technology will help take immersive gaming to a whole new level if it can be implemented properly. It would make Over-G Fighters simply awesome!

Bring it on!
