    Video game controllers use brain waves

    in Gaming

    Posted

    SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A convincing twin of Darth Vader stalks the cubicles of a Silicon Valley office, complete with black mask and light saber. But this is no Halloween costume. It's a prototype of a toy that reads brain waves.

    Behind the mask is a sensor that reads the brain's electrical signals, then sends them to a receiver inside the saber, which lights up when the user is concentrating. When the mind wanders, the wand goes dark.

    Engineers at NeuroSky Inc. have plans for brain-wave-reading toys that could revolutionize the way people play games. Technology from NeuroSky and other startups could even enable players to control characters with nothing but their thoughts.

    The technology is similar to more sensitive, expensive equipment that athletes use to achieve peak performance. Koo Hyoung Lee, a NeuroSky co-founder from South Korea, used biofeedback to improve concentration and relaxation for members of his country's Olympic archery team.

    The basis of many games is electroencephalography, or EEG, the measurement of the brain's electrical activity through electrodes. NeuroSky's sensors are the size of a thumbnail and could be put into a headset that retails for as little as $20, said CEO Stanley Yang.

    Researchers at NeuroSky and other startups are also building prototypes that use electromyography, which records twitches, and electrooculography, which measures changes in the retina.

    CyberLearning Technology LLC targets doctors, therapists and parents of adolescents with developmental disorders. The company sells its system for the original PlayStation, PS2 and original Xbox.

    Co-founder Lindsay Greco said the budding niche is unpredictable. "Our biggest struggle is to find the target market. ... We have executives who use it to improve their memory, even their golf."

    Snooker is a good sport but I like regular Pool more and it is not because it is easier it's because I don't have any Snooker table around here (you have to pass over 500 Km to find one :( )

    And, Ps3 Player I watch Snooker Championship sometimes.

    It shud b more realistic in the grapics aspect of the game! but it shud still have the cartoony gta touch!!

    Also as dicussed bfore the car crashin shud have some diffrent effect!!Like if u crash into a building or tree at a very high speed den u fly thru the windshield or sumthng!!

    but it shudnt be too realistic like u have to go pee very 5hours or sumthing!!

    :lol: I don't think that peeing is a part of any game except it is just a make up! And that's because we don't want to do that big step in in-game realistic, only The Sims (2) have that feature.

    Anyway, if seasons will exist in game then you should wear proper cloth and that street lamp and any other thing that could be broken, destroyed... Shouldn't re-spawn next time you got there.

    We all know that R* will try to make new GTA as more realistic as possible so what do you think it will be?

    I think that weapons will make real demage and not like in SA where you need to shoot from M4 a several bullets to kill civilian.

    More energy lost from falling, maybe real car names, but I doubt.
