To help his severely disabled friend interact more with others, Ushiba created an interface to connect and interact in SL with thought. Read more about it at http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/10/the-second-life.html

  • Well, lag is the same for all SL residents, with thought-controlled avatars or not :-)

  • YAY!

  • That's so cool. When technology like this is refined, I'm sure the paralyzed people will be elated to be able to play games and get up and walk around. I'm usually not impressed with the way prosthetic limbs operate, but technology in this area makes me more hopeful to see the paralyzed people will see themselves moving again.

    Cool video.

  • That's great. Too often SL gets a bum rap as being a "waste of time". Here's proof that it can have a real-world, positive impact on people.

    I know the system is in it infancy stage, but I hope they'll enable him to activate Mouselook mode. I think this gives a much better perspective on your surroundings. I personally, don't care for 3rd--person view as the angle is pointing too far down for my taste.

    I thought it was cool being able to watch his brain activity on the other monitor.

  • This is impressive, but wonder how it would improve the lives of parallyzed people. Real World Vs. Virtual World .... On one side I think it keeps them connected to the world and helps keep their mind quite active in all that interactivity.

  • This guy has an unfiar advantage to other players because he can react much faster. HOW IS THIS FAIR?

  • They really need to get on this!!

  • Ye cool, but SL is not what people with health problems need. They would love join the real life so try made something more useful.

  • sl has many benefits. its amazing at how many people find a new life there.  i did!

  • This is an amazing use of technology for medical science. I can't wait till this is used in common video games! One day...one day...
