Six new technologies that will shape PC gaming's future -- or not.

1UP writes: "For every winner of an American Inventor season, a couple hundred would-be Thomas Edisons go home losers. For every Nintendo Wii, there are 1,000 Nintendo Virtual Boys. There's no shortage of new technology in the world -- but the ratio of brilliant ideas to worthless crap is decidedly out of whack.
And so we present for your consideration six emerging technologies that might change the way you play PC games in the future. Or may not. From brain-wave scanning to pupil tracking to peripherals that simulate a Serengeti breeze, these devices -- some prototypes, some real products you can buy today -- are nothing if not creative. And their creators are hoping you'll want to play with them every day."

I believe you are missing the other part of the equation. The consoles might pick up this type of tech as well when they change again in 2011 or 2012. :P

I believe that the only 2 that will be accepted will be though controller device and the sound thing for now with the Z-dome or J-dome coming somewhere down the line after.

I think I'll pass on all that garbage. Thanks but no thanks. We don't need any of it. Just a bunch of toys that do nothing to make games better and just collect dust.

2 - Eyetracking
Eye tracking could actually be very useful. An example for that could be that the computer calculates what we are looking at on screen and add depth of field accordingly, thus giving it a more realistic feeling.
