OCZ Brain Actuator in action at Cebit2007

Sorry for the bad quality and the lack of sound. The video was taken with my photocamera.

The video shows the OCZ brain actuator. The guy is playing Unreal Tournament 2004 with this device. He uses it to run, jump, strafe and fire. The mouse is only needed to look/turn around.
This is not a fake. I tried it myself and it works.
The seonsors read muscle movements and some other stuff I cant explain.
I have been told the plan is to finish the unit by the end of this year and the retail price OCZ is aiming for is sub 300usd.

Lol, no. It doesn't give out any sort of signals or anything. All it does is monitors and interprets alpha/beta waves, muscle movement and eye reflexes. Not a chance in hell could that give you cancer, haha.

you still aim with the mouse, but firing and movement is all controlled with the headband thing. notice that he isnt clicking or using the keyboard at all.

[rockhoppergames]

and it's only like $100 on newegg

[Anthony883]

Yup! I crapped my pants..

[freakshowboy9]

Everyone calm down damnit. This device only reads beta waves... If you don't know what those are I wouldn't even suggest trying it, you're hopeless. Anyway, I would just like to know why no individual I've seen has focused more time in programing the NIA to follow curve intensity in wavelength spikes to control precise movements or gradation. Why not a cursor, robotic servo... or a giant robot? What? You feel comfortable buying a $150 left click? FUN. Get off your asses and do something.

no, that would be called a movement sensor or a muscle actuator. I dont know if you've noticed, but this is a NEURAL IMPULSE ACTUATOR

[TRASE666]

it uses eyes movement, alfa vaves, beta vaves and muscules.

[jonisginger]

Fail.

[jonisginger]

Probably true.

If you think it can read minds, you're pretty stupid. Look at the name of the device dammit, Neural IMPULSE Actuator, it works the way ksthebest stated.
