A high-tech company in the US has created a games controller that you play with the power of your mind. According to Physorg, EPOC is the, er, brainchild of Emotiv, a San Francisco start-up. The technology builds a new interface between thoughts and action on a screen:
A videogame will be included with the headset when the package goes on sale for 299 dollars at the Emotiv website and select shops.
The martial arts fantasy game has a rural Asian setting. An animated "master" leads players through exercises that include lifting mountains with their minds.
A test of the headset showed that after "training" the EPOC system for less than a minute one could spin, push, pull and lift objects onscreen, or make them vanish, by simply thinking about it.
Fantasy? Possible. We'll find out at Christmas. You can pre-order here. Before you do that, thought, keep in mind what snwboardn said in the comments,
Now the only thing that's left is a device that takes input from the game and puts it into your mind.
Other games that do your head in: Gameboys instead of anesthetic and the head-controlled Wii.
