Thought Controlled Gaming

It's mind over machine: a US high-tech company has created a headset allowing computer game lovers to use their thoughts to move mountains and make objects disappear on screen.

Emotiv, a San Francisco-based startup that marries neuroscience and computer engineering, says its EPOC gaming headset offers only a glimpse of what the technology has to offer.

"There is no natural barrier from what we can see," Emotiv co-founder Tan Le told AFP while demonstrating the headset in the firm's office.

"This is the tip of the iceberg for what is possible for us. There will be a convergence of gesture-based technology and the brain as a new interface -- the Holy Grail is the mind."

It looks awesome, and to me it looks like another step towards the realization

of a matrix like world . When I think of that, I even tend to wonder whether it is a good news or a bad one .

We can only speculate about the kind of mind interfacing technologies that they might game developed in the secret research facilities across the world when stuff like this is about to be out in public .

This is an entirely different direction in taking games as the Wii actually requires more physical involment than usual. This idea though has been in work since forever and I don't expect any gaming giant giving it a try any time soon.
