A company called NeuroSky is developing a new type of video game controller. NeuroSky partnered with gaming giants like SEGA to develop a line of thought-controlled toys and video games. They are developing an app that will detect your mood scheduled for release this year. NeuroSky is in talks with gaming and mobile phone companies to license its technology, with the goal of building game controllers for less than $100.
Say goodbye to the Wii
NeuroSky is one of two companies that currently have mind control game controllers. A joystick is a controller for computer systems, video games, machinery, or educational simulations. Instead of your brain telling your muscles to move a game controller, your brain moves the controller itself. You’ll be able to play video games without worrying about tripping over the controller cord.
SEGA and NeuroSky will steal the spotlight from the Wii. Compared to what SEGA is working on with NeuroSky, the Wii sucks. They are working on playing video games with your thoughts. SEGA and NeuroSky’s customers and partners include gaming peripheral manufacturers and game developers. With the introduction of the Wii Blaster, expect new video games that take advantage of gaming peripherals to quickly roll out of game studios in the near future.
Say hello to the thought controllers
Hot video games that read your mind are invading your living room this year, thanks to controllers from SEGA and NeuroSky. They teamed up to make “mind controlled technology toys” and acquired technology originally developed in Russia, for a head communication display control in a car or for a video game controller. NeuroSky makes headphones that measure brain waves, for video games. NeuroSky and SEGA developed an app that detects the player’s mood and adjusts gameplay. It is similar to the technology started and abandoned by Atari in 1983. Playing a martial arts video game, you can kick or punch the opponent without a joystick or mouse.
NeuroSky is based in Silicon Valley, California, USA, and developed ThinkGear that uses signals from the brain and eye movement. NeuroSky is developing a consumer technology that will bring you intense gaming control in the near future. Its game controllers should appear on the market this year.
