Emotiv here to make impossible possible

Is this the future for gaming? Could this be next gen material or just another pile of junk that doesn't work. Its called Emotiv EPOC and it breaks the boundaries for controllers. first Wii came out with motion sensor controllers but this is way past hand held objects. You are now able to control things with your brain.

lame lame lame
Lame to the super freaking max!!!!!!!!!!!
never ever ever in life would i ever hook that piece of crap to my brain. Then it breaks and screws up your psyche. Throw that idea in file 13...right next to bush's bail out plan, and hilary clinton's fashion sense.

[Kushan]

You might think differently if you ever break your spine.

[xabmol]

You think total control and immersion is lame? You think VR is lame? You hated the move The Matrix? You don't wand video games to improve? You have no imagination?

[Awookie]

I agree this is lame. Shave my head to wear this ugly and probably uncomfortable controller? no thanks. What if i want to lie down? looks more fragile then the original xbox mic. What if my mom/friend is talking to me? What if im thinking about what i should do in the future like in an rts? I just don't see this happening

[DeadlyFire]

You don't have to shave anything. In the future device will get smaller and more convenient. First drafts of any idea are always bulky and fragile.

It only READS the electric activity in your brain, it doesn't send anything.
This technology isn't entirely new, although i doubt this would be effective when playing video games since I imagine you would have to conciously think what buttons to press. It's probably only compatible with centain game, otherwise it'd be kind of a pain in the ass to constantly think "up up up up up up up up..." when running in like ninja gaiden or something, not to mention performing combos

hahahha naw man this is cool. you just thing of what should happen and it happens! that is crazy, we are used to controlling stuff with controllers well this brings a whole new meaning to gaming now!

I´d be fun to beat Psycho- mantis with this control xD

[xabmol]

You read my mind!

if sometime later, 100~500 years into the future, they were to perfect this... fighting games will get a whole lot crazier.

[Sean Ryno]

I really don't think so. I mean if your gonna learn that much about fighting, why not just fight? I've been training in MMA for a while now and believe me, fighting in a video game just doesn't touch the experience of goin' toe to toe with another guy that thinks he can beat you just as much as you think you can beat him. In my opinion, "realistic" fighting games are unneccesary when almost every big city in the country has a gym training MMA and it's relatively cheap to train for.

[xabmol]

make me mnemonic.

I have been waiting all my life for something like this. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy true VR before I die. Closest I've come so far is lucid dreaming.

all natural highs through brain stimulus, programed hypnosis for postive thinking (firmware 100.1 for the cure of fanboy syndrome), seriously though I would love to play a boxing game that lets me feel the punches, and the fatigue in my arms from throwing them back...why pop a pill when you can just give your brain a party shot lol. It may scare a lot of people but it has to be safer than a joint, sh*t like this could cure smoking addiction and all kinds of things, im all for it.

[Sean Ryno]

I think this thing only receives messages that the brain produces. I don't think that it in any way can affect how you feel.

[NaiNaiNai]

can anyone see the issues of .hack popping in here. >.> you know, not being able to log out even when your not connected. XD that would be trippy. but don't think that would even be possible in anyway. however it does say make the impossible possible. XD
-nai-

[AR35]

what if they had this mixed with a controller? like we play a game, you shoot with a controller and stuff but when you want to pick your nades,take our pistol, run, you do it with the headset. That will be crazy!

[randomwiz]

You can buy a 360 arcade for the same price as one of these controllers.
I read about this in a business magazine. The makers are going to get rich...FAST. Each one costs about $200 right now.

These are fully functional... until they found a problem which will be fixed shortly.

THE FUTURE OF GAMING
XBOX 720: Features blu ray, Solid state drive, amazing graphics. .000001% failure rate.
PS4: features mind control/3d glasses gaming head controllers.
Wii 2: features... a jumpsuit to get you really active. Now you can jump like MARIO!!!

[Amplitude]

We've seen videos of this thing in action over 3 years ago. I remember seeing the video of the guy lifting the rocks with his brain back in 2006. Whatever though. Still very cool.

[AR35]

yea, but 200 is not bad for this.. i mean a lot of people would buy this for 200 you really get your money worth. think of playing KZ2 with a gun, and this on you reload the gun shoot it and everything with the gun controller and you do other things with your head.. that will be so f'in cool haha
