I'll be buying one of these. 400 is kindof steep for my uses, but it'd be nice to have even a few more easily accessible actions without having to stretch a finger. Personally i'm not worried about using just that to play a game, but it'd be nice to blink to perform an action that i do often, and keep keys free for other things.

In a previous life when I used to test games, I tried something like this. The device (I cannot remember what it was called) used a piece of hardware that attached to your index finger. You were to think about moving left, right,up and down to move the player in the game. The game was some type of skiing game.

It never worked and the "game" and related hardware died off. I have a feeling the same fate awaits this thing.

When are they releasing the 2" diameter version?

FINALLY! WE MADE IT TO THE FUTURE! 2007 was ok but 2008 gives us the MIND CONTROL CONTROLLER! Its futuristic, regardless if its a crappy product. Unfortunately we won't see flying cars until Shell Oil and Exxon Mobil disappear (flying cars probably won't run on gasoline, more like electricity) which won't happen for another century at least.

Its gimmicky now but if you remember how PC Joysticks looked back in 1987 you know that progress will be made in the next 20 years. From 1987 to 2007 joysticks changed a lot. In 2028 this neural interface will be a helluva lot better and may be our primary interface by then.

Actually I see this as an even lazier/better way of navigating Opera.

Old and Busted: Mouse Gestures. New Hotness: mind gestures.

Well... as long as it's better than the power glove.

Scott, your picture should be on the front page, not Zephren Cochran's!

yeah, he just don't look as nice as the girl. and speaking of girls, can this work both ways with pr0n sites? LOL! simulate to stimulate, I always say.

How about just general desktop surfing? I often find my arm/hand gets tired very quickly (due to not very good ergonomics, heh, I'm at school) when I'm just surfing in general, and something like this would be great I'm thinking.

That being said, Scott, I think that's the first time I've ever seen you. I was beginning to think you were a little camera shy...

Basically, he'd think of an expletive, and his character would jump

Wow, nice potential for a self-perpetuating spiral here given a spawn point with low cover. Get sniped, respawn, swear at camper, jump, get sniped, respawn, swear at camper.... ;)

This would be very interesting when combined with eye tracking kits, which are already passable as mouse replacements after some training. The cost of these is somewhere between thousands of dollars and lunacy, though.

For those who still don't know, Michael Schuette (shoe-tee) is the MS of LostCircuits. He is a hoot and a half to work with in person, once you learn to translate his soft-spoken German accent.

"Remember Major Gant...you must think in Russian".

The way I play UT, I would be jumping a heck of a lot, as some members here know. I was in a clan for a while for entertainment value. I would certainly be entertaining! No relaxing for me, my character would be going nuts and shooting all over the place.

It would be fun to see.

i like the prospect of it helping people with disabilities

That ONJ headshot reminds me legwarmers are due for a return. Oh, wait, you could wire them and use them as FlashDance Dance Revolution controllers.... (the water drop at the end might play havok with the electronics, however)

Apparently it turns you into a stoner.

it would be *so* cool if this thing got a bit more resolution so that we could "swear differently" to get some real directional control, left and right clicking...

i have seen the future, and it involves a lot of thinking nasty words at your pc.

That headband looks like something a Hippie would wear back in the 60's and not too much more effective than the one Atari tried developing that got canned before It was ever released, It only seemed to make headaches as I recall reading. :D If It's an improvement Ok, But call Me a skeptic...

Does it produce these facial expressions in every person who wears it?
