It's finally happened. PC users are now able to purchase a peripheral and software application that can allow them to play games like World Of Warcraft and Call Of Duty only the power of their mind.
A video has been released promoting the Master Mind device, explaining how it works. Players put on a headset and run through a calibration process that involves thinking specific words and commands to move a box in 3D space. Those same commands are then used in games like Modern Warfare 2 to execute various actions.
To enjoy the benefits of this, though, you're going to need one of those Emotiv EPOC headsets. And they don't come cheap at $300. Throw in the $99 Master Mindsoftware and you're going to need deep pockets. Mind Technologies, the company behind the application, hopes to capture 3-5 per cent of the total PC market. Good luck with that.
Watch the video below and be amazed at the technology - and acting - on offer. It's all a bit Total Recall, really, isn't it?
