Tan Le: A headset that reads your brainwaves

http://www.ted.com Tan Le's astonishing new computer interface reads its user's brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications.

Yeah, I guess everyone's story is the same.

1)Watch SAO/Accel World

2)Saw this video

3)Saw Occulus Rift

4)Yelled in our heads "Am I the only one who sees the logic in this: Occulus rift's vision + this headset's brain reading = Virtual Reality of today

5)Decided to buy Final Fantasy XIV as it's a console based mmorpg

This + Occulus Rift = WE VIRTUAL REALITY NOW!

[Anime4everOyokrae]

Smile to go straight with the wheelchair, what if he's a very sad person? Will he reverse backwards?

eeh... you are speaking chaos;head.... 

[DemonLordandMaster]

yea like Dot.Hack which would of been big if those blooded ...... they should of released fragment to the usa

[DemonLordandMaster]

Eh sorry, I will be saying hi to tsukasa from .hack

[DemonLordandMaster]

angelic layer... it was an anime that based moving dolls with your mind to do battles... ultimately it was a test field to enable and work on developing artificial working realistic limps for people

Regardless... We or at least Emotiv will not make a mass marketing battle barbie thing.... and they do not need too...

We hop-skipped over battle barbies into starwars!!! youtube search Man Controls Robotic Hand with Mind

[DemonLordandMaster]

you need a 7.1 or better headset + someone to throw crap at you or throw water on you to even match the immersion of accel world or chaos;head

This stuff gives up one step higher then what dot.hack had with the 3d headset and the ps2 controller...

Google mapping your brain functions. Very dangerous.
