discuss.

well my head phones are already nerdy enough this will be to much for my woman to handle when I wear it and my headphones with my ghetto rigged mic.

One down fall I imagine will be that this thing will not be built by gamers and they will probably make the wireless technology suck like most wireless mice and keyboards, it also may have some internal lag. In the first generation I bet this will be rejected by gamers as being to slow for fast paced DM games.

hmmm. Weird D;

NOT A RICK ROLL! LOL I haven't clicked it yet...about to venture.

that's just crazy...

im betting price is in thousands. give it a few years before it even becomes an after thought to get one.

Mouse and keyboard forever

ingenious, the article mentions the ability to read emotions and translate them ingame, but I dont think you can do complex stuff like strafe + sprint + jump + duck , change to AR2 while hitting secondary fire while holding primary fire then switching to your grav-gun...

hahah nice, this is true..
also what scar said about the price, im sure the first edition of this thing will be obscenely expensive, but perhaps cheaper with revisions...
and yes the nerdy factor is quite high.

i heared about that earlyer but at this point they where only talking about helping paraplegic to interact with theyr world, roboters, computers and stuff and i was like YEEEEE FINALY WHENS THAT AVAILABLE FOR GAMERS

Emotions is the wrong word neural activity is correct. It would be only limited by the input the headset can take. When you play now your brain does the same things just tellin your fingers to move soon we wont need the lame fingerz By the time the technique is developed you will be able to do much more things at one time in game But will need lots o training...

This is nerdier than yesterday when this guy in my calc class recited pi to the hundredth decimal.

That is sooo sick and disturbing.

Gaming based on your emotions.......oh man hold me back, there is way too much fodder there. *bites tongue, bites tongue*

"I want to kill that guy"

Boom!


"I really want to kill that guy"

BOOM HEADSHOT!!!

yeah and the virtua boy was supposed to be virtual reality...

i remain a doubting thomas skeptic to be proven wrong upon use.

A good alternative is to get a touch screen and to bind TouchScreen to primary fire, now just stand in a corner and get ready to touch some rebels!

But seriously, idk how accurate it can be, they say headset is 300$ but theres prolly a 1k module coming with it, and ...well yea, i'd be curious to try it but i'd prolly stick with mouse/keyboard, would be awesome on the desktop tho.

Im not too comfy by having this one thing near my brain either, if microwave and cellular can fuck you up, idk bot that thing haha

I LOL'D

This technology is decades (at least) away from being able to pull off a thought~reality translation anywhere near clean and precise enough for serious gaming.

Headsets kinda cute, though.

No doubt hackers will get involved eventually and it will be all like "Damn, i hate getting barreled like that, cheap *ss Mofos" --BOOM!

or "Hahahahaha, I got the rocket, i got the rocket!---Headshot!!

Mind controlled rockets!!!!

Mind controlled rockets!!!!

That would be ....unescapable =P....but some people out there have been doing those kind of shots for a while, and without their minds z0mg !!1! =P

pff fine then.

MIND CONTROLLED ORBS!!!

this is ridiculous. also as conflict said, ive thought alot about the possibility of taking those really expensive pen tablets with the built monitor. all you gotta do is just touch the screen where the enemy would be...granted it worked.

edit: i can imagine if this brain control headset actually worked. if i got it, i'd probably end up just spinning in a corner spraying smg fire everywhere and blowing myself up

LMAO

I blow myself up enough already. Dont need that!

kinda reminds me of an eye based controller this company is developing:

even though they are developing it for use with applications for disabled people this would be -amazing- to use in game.

One of my friends used to do this on his tablet lapotop. He was pretty uber with it, headshots were too easy in cs 1.6. But he mostly had to snipe becasue you had to take your hand off the mouse to fire and loose the ability to look around. Granted you CAN fire anywhere on the screen, kinda weird lol.

I think this is along the lines of what grape was talking about if not the same thing. But, a group of scientists have developed a robtic hand that ustilizes a computer to gather the nueral signal from your forearm thats being sent to your hand, interprets the data and then sends it to the hand which exactly emulates the movement of the persons hand. They also tried this process over the internet, which is kinda creepy cause think of the implications on a larger scale. Instead of picking up the signal at the forearm so you only get the siganls related to hand/wrist, why not start a little closer to the brain stem, take ALL of the bodies neural signals related to muscle movement. Build a fulscale human robot....and there you go your very own "brain" controled super soldier lol. Not likely but I mean that technology for the hand is the first step.......dun dun duuuuunnnnnnnnn lol

I think someone sould just develope something like the matrix, cause that would really be the ultimate gaming experience. I mean you'd be IN the game, that'd be fucking awesome aslong as there were some failsafes in the system of course lol.
