It's All in Your Head (EPOC game contoller)


Emotiv's EPOC headset is a game controller fitted with 16 brainwave sensors. After some calibrating, the gamer is able to control the action on the screen with his or her thoughts. Those who've tried it say it takes a little getting used to, and it's perhaps not as precise as they'd like to see in a video game controller. But, they add, when the action on the screen mirrors your actual thoughts, the effect is 'surreal.'"

So this could be great for less controller heavy games like the Casual Genera. Especially virtual worlds and MMO's.

This product also has great potential for medical apps.
